Eric,



I added a 50 and 30 amp plugs to the Bird that are used to power friend's

trailers when we are camping. I added a Generator Transfer Switch to the

house and can plug it into the coach to power the house. It will run the

heat pump if nothing else except lights are on, we can cook and have hot

water if the heat is off. (Our genset has a new 15KW back end on it.)

Takes a little planning but it works. We have rental houses, I made a cable

to back feed through the electric dryer plug when the power is off so I

could work on them. Main breaker HAS to be off!!! Don't do this unless you

are very comfortable with electricity. I brought the Bird home for the

current Fort Worth storm but it wasn't needed.

Ice storms may bring loss of power to our home as in other areas of the

country so I brought

the coach to the house with the idea of moving into it if we have a problem.

Then I got to

thinking about using the generator to provide power to the home so we could

have heat and

lights. Has anyone else done this? What would be the best way to make the

connection so

you get maximum use of the generator capacity?
