Does anyone use their rv to power their house during power outages?

Why don't you just move your food and perishables into the RV and live there while the power is out? That way you don't have to do anything other than ride it our in your RV. Simple. I mean if you are going to run your RV anyway, forget supplying power to the house, move into where the power is.
If you're in a freezing climate, you need some way to run the furnace or otherwise keep the house above freezing lest the pipes freeze and you have a big plumbing problem. In quite a few cases the RV furnace might also struggle to keep the RV temperature at a reasonably livable level as well.
For relatively brief power outages (maybe less than a day), this is less of a concern since it takes some time for a house to cool below freezing if it's halfway well insulated, but given enough time it's a very real concern, and it's rarely known at the onset how long a power outage will last.
