For cheap heat nothing beats the Mr Heater Portable Buddy. It uses the green propane tanks or a long hose and a BBQ tank. It's designed for tents so it has tip over protection and low oxygen sensor. Less than $100. No need to run the generator all night.

Marinaire (not marine air) 16k is about the only 16k unit that a Honda 2000 will start without a smart start. They are that efficient !
Put the smart start on it and the generator barely even hiccups .

We are in SoCal and only need A/C for a few days a year. Therefore, we place a portable unit in the doorway of the mid-birth and route the exhaust out the window. I made a special removable adapter for the exhaust. I also ran a separate 120 line from the main with a breaker. However, these draw very low amps and you could probably just use the receptacle existing on the 2859. This unit cools the entire area adequately. Attached are photos.2 PhotosDave Stancil
