I currently have a 100 amp sub panel for a 50 amp RV hookup (on a 60 amp breaker). This is about 100ft from the main with 2/4 wiring.
Would a 12000w generator plugged into RV hookup power the house? I think the issue would be limited amps so I could only run one of the following at a time:
1) 3hp well pump
2) 5 ton heat pump
3) Gas Dryer
4) Electric Oven
The RV hookup is also close to the propane on the property so I could have someone plumb the gas line for a generator outlet.
I would only need to change out the female end of a 10' 50 amp cable to hook the generator to the house.
With the RV hookup so far from the main panel it's not practical to put in an interlock or transfer switch. I would turn off the main circuit breaker before plugging in the generator to prevent backfeeding the grid.
Am I missing something?
