Connected this through an interlock kit into the whole house. Runs everything. Although needed to grab some power from the regular outlets to capture the whole 4500 peak. I run the refrigerator off of that set of outlets and the RV plug goes into the power panel. I created my own cable to split the single hot lead into two that go to both hots in a L14-30 then to a double 30 amp breaker which then powers both legs of the panel. You can't get 240 of course, but you can use all 120 circuits that way. Get an interlock kit or use a cutover panel; only safe way to ensure you don't energize the main utility grid and kill a lineman.
Does everything a generator should do, but quieter, easier, and with more versatility. Especially liking the ease of an electric start, onboard USB charging, and its ability to throttle-down for low-load ultra quiet operation and its ability to run electronics directly. All things which are not possible, or more difficult to do via a traditional generator.
WOW! This generator is incredible. It has more than enough power for my RV with some to spare. I cant imagine anyone being annoyed by the sound it makes, it is very quiet.
