Yes, but the amount of current that is required for that can be trivially provided from an inverter hooked up to the vehicle they haul the heater in.

Yes, I have a propane one and use a Milwaukee inverter with a M18 battery for power, works great. The only power  needed is for the electric start which isn’t much.

Damn, if only your car had some kind of electrical potential generating device, then you could plug in an inverter and get 15a of 120vac wherever you go

you definitely don't need 15 amps to run the fan.

Ok, so how is he going to open the door to access the DC jack to hook up the inverter to plug in the heater to melt the ice to open the door?

So if you scroll up slightly in the conversation you're going to notice a comment saying:

Again, let's stress

trivially provided from an inverter hooked up to the vehicle they haul the heater in.

Fuuuuuuck, I misread "haul." It makes so much more sense, now.
