Is there a temperature sensor in the floor?
Is there a reticence to using temporary portable propane or kerosene heaters?
If the voltswagon isn't doing anything 3kw of solar turns into 10k btu of heat with an extension cord and a resistance heater.

- it uses up the oxygen in the space (and i am also concerned about the invisible exhausts)
- it puts a huge amount of water into the air

It seems that the the thing to do, for a portable solution, is to have them in a super, tiny insulated room with an incandescent light bulb that comes on when temps are below 20.
Out of all of the solutions that you listed, the one that seems the quickest and I am the most comfortable with would be the propane generator and a conventional portable electric heater.
BUT!
I think the best thing this year is a series of simple, indicative tests.
Even if we ran the generator for a week, holding the interior temp at 85 degrees F for a week and then observed what happened in the following weeks - all of that would still be nothing more than indicative.
The real test is a year from now. Hence the challenge with "annualized" - it takes a year to do proper tests.
If we had more people in the bootcamp the last few years, we might be two years ahead on this testing. Which is why I have placed so much emphasis on the bootcamp and the BRK for boots.
