First, test for voltage across the battery terminals.
Next, turn on the ignition switch and see if there is voltage to that main fuse.
If not, make sure that the ignition switch is passing voltage.
Check all wiring from the battery to the switch and in other areas, if it overheated, wire insulation could have melted and shorted.

I don't know how it is wired. The aux outlet is what voltage, 120v?
I would think that any other electrical equipment would have it's own fuse or circuit breaker.
In that way, if the aux outlet shorts, the whole machine doesn't shut down.
Is there voltage to the fuse when you turn on the ignition?

Electrical problems are like following a trail of bread crumbs. You start with a test light across the battery, and then you continually move the probe further downstream until you don't find any current any more, and you know where the problem is.
While normally dirty battery terminals are the first suspect, in your case with the heater, I would suspect the main fuse. While there are always small 5 to 20 amp fuses, there is usually only 1 really large fuse. It is usually 60 to 80 amps, rating. Sometimes it is just a stip of metal screwed down on both ends. It is easy to see if a fuse is bad, one side with probe hot with the test light, while the other side will not. That means the fuse needs replacement.
Have you tried to push start it ?
