Using RV generator as backup for house?
My electricity is still on in Middle TN, no worries. But that may not always be the case in the future! If I have a transfer switch properly installed, is there any reason I can't use the RV gene...

You certainly can use an RV generator as a generator backup for a house, of course within the limits of the generator's capacity and so forth. Of course, that does require having appropriate connections and interlocks (which could be as simple as running a couple extension cords to specific things you want to run).
A great many, though not quite all, RV generators are not wired for 240V power. It doesn't sound as though you have any 240V loads you're looking to supply with it, so that probably would not be a big difficulty.
