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...

I need to run the furnace blower. No way to plug it into an extension cord.
I have a dozen home furnaces and they all plug into a standard wall outlet up in the attic, garage or heater closet.
Yes I see a packaged unit wants 208-230v and you would need an a generator and extension to match. I would think you would not need to full wattage if just using the furnace. But this looks like a heat pump when I look at an install manual. You may need a large generator for a heat pump. Heat pump is very different from a furnace.
