What I do here at my house is run a couple of extension cords into the house from my off-road POPUP camper which has a 255AH battery system running a 1500WATT PURE sine wave INVERTER setup.
These two extension cords run our home entertainment system in the house and a couple of lights. Will also run our fan on the fireplace and can run our fridge a couple hours and make good ole fresh ground bean coffee each day when we are running the 2KW Honda generator to re-charge our batteries in the POPUP trailer... Using this setup we run just fine off the batteries and only use the generator to re-charge the batteries each day. We are good as long as we can find gasoline haha... That was our problem last year when the whole county went off line due to an approaching hurricane. All of the gas stations lost power too. I finally found gasoline but had to drive around looking for it. I was about ready to use my Oklahoma Credit card and siphon gas out of the truck gas tank.
Sure has been a blessing for us to this capability sitting in our camp back yard when we need it...
