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...

3000 watts should run that house fine. Electrician will probably put the critical items on a 120v sub panel in addition to installing a switch and a power inlet to connect power.
My generator is 4000 watts. It would be nice to be able to run the whole house, including TV & internet. Not essential, but nice.
Just wanted to touch on this because I had the same thoughts about how cool it would be to keep the internet up. The problem is unless you are tethering the internet through cellular, once the power goes out the internet goes out too. Yes I can get my cable modem back up and running on the generator. But after the signal leaves my modem it is dropped by some unknown system down the line because it has no power either. So in reality once the power goes out the internet goes with it.
