generator

What would be the best deal for a generator for our RV and also be able to use at the house if the power would go off?

Our house has geo thermo heat I don't know what it would take to run that.
We have a fireplace in our house that would heat the house?

Does any one use one of the northerntool generators, I believe its the north star generator with the Honda motor?

Depends on how much power you need at home. I have a 2000W Honda that does what I need for camping. I could use it if the power went out to run the fridge and my pellet stove at the same time. Gotta remember to have ample gas to run the gen when the power goes out as gas stations won't be open either. As a rule we never lose power but maybe once in 10-15 yrs. And it only lasted last time about 3-4 hrs.

power at the house is a BIG load usually, or you have to decide not to use something. Furnace and A/C (and water heater if electric like mine) are the big consumers

there are worksheets from many of the gen makers to help add that all up.

to be able to move it, you will want an external unit.
The big ones aren't very quiet.
