We too are fortunate to have our OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer setup always with us even parked at home when not being used.
Can easily use the running off the batteries and Power Inverters and then recharge the batteries each each day with the OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer being run by the 2KW Generator for three hours or so... Its just like camping out haha...
Have had to do this several times here at the house when we had county wide power outages...
Just run a couple of HD Extension Cords from the trailer into the house...
One extension cord providing 120VAC can run several lights and the home entertainment setup for many hours during the day and evening from my large battery bank. The second extension cord providing 120VAC is dedicated to running the fridge for a couple hours during the day and trickle charging my computer room UPS setup batteries which runs more lights and comms/connectivity to the outside world.
The problem I usually run into is finding a gas station on emergency power to refill my jeri-cans. One year I had to use my handy OKLAHOMA CREDIT CARD and suck some gas out of the truck gas tank haha...
This reminds me I need to check-out a few other new gas stations as the one that had back-up power to run their pumps at the edge of this county has recently closed down due to a new SHEETZ gas station being built.
The other fun side of this is we are usually the only one here in the neighborhood with lights and TV's going from the patio area and this invites alot of the neighborhood to come around. The propane grill gets a good work out and good fellowship with the neighbors... The hugh coffee pot of fresh grind and brew bean coffee was great as well...
No telling how many 2kW portable generators have been purchased around here due to this haha...
A couple years ago my next door neighbor and I loaded up one of the 2KW Hondas in a little red wagon and pulled around the neighborhood charging up the fridges to save some folks their meats and cold things..
A couple hours a day will save alot food from spoiling...
