Running house on bus again. Storms got us last nite looks like several days! Don't throw rocks! we have system installed and approved by local power utility. One more good reason to own Bus! no other damage Bob
Good for you! Im sorry about your house with the storm, but thrilled that you have such a great backup!
It's nice to have. Several years ago we were without power for three + days at residential and 3 weeks at commercial business's. Luckily I had a portable welder for emergency power and bought an $800 portable generator also. I would have loved to have had the option of using the bus gen with it's 80 gallon propane tank instead of getting up in the middle of the night and making the rounds with a gas can!! Hope your's is a temporary loss of juice....
Just got off phone yel ing at computer voice. then called lineman friend and said Moose there are two poles laying down in the back 80 got our leg cut off. He said:The office said you were back on.Lol. date on pole were 1967 in open field. Wonderful world of always rite computers..HEEEEEE Ok vented now Bob.
Bob,
Nothing like the coach in a pinch!
Have used it over several hurricanes and the aftermath.
Glad You and Judy are OK.

Nothing wrong with using a generator to power the house as long as the connection is done to code.
I have a natural gas standby generator at my home with an automatic transfer switch. I didn't have an RV when I had this installed. I don't really have a way to use the bus generator for the house other than running extension cords to each thing I want to power.
It's now 3 pm central time. Tv said all power will be restored by 10pm. My poles still haven't arrived. Must going to be a Daytona style Pit Stop..Lol Bob

I (and im sure others here as well) would be interested to see exactly how your hooked up.
As for when, and how long, it is amazing how fast those guys can repair their stuff once they show up, and interesting to watch them work.
