RV genset to power a house
After spending the last 2 days with out electricity and having to use our 3500 watt Kipor with a ton of extension cords, I am wondering if
the Kipor could be used to power the house. I was told by a friend that if you turn off the main breaker into the house, use a double male extension cord plugged in to an outside outlet that this would allow you to use your homes wiring powered by the genset. Of course you would have to be very careful with what to turn on to keep from overpowering the genset.
Has anyone on the forum tried this? Is it safe??? The biggest obstacle that I can see is that turning off the main breaker is critical, and you won't know when the power is restored.
