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...

Well it's a NO-GO.
I had an extended conversation with my HVAC dude. My heat blower requires a 220V input. He said that the variable speed blowers are almost all like that.
So not going to happen with the RV generator.
My goal is to be able to at a minimum, have heat in the house when electricity goes out. That need can be met with a gas fireplace or heater of some type.
Ideally, I would love to be able to power the entire house. That means a whole house generator, supplied off natural gas (which I have.) My natural gas does not freeze up, unlike in TX.
So time to get some quotes and info on the options.
