Backup to the backup generator!

Well... my first post to this thread about a year ago - I mentioned possible upcoming use as hurricane evacuation plan...

We stayed put for Irma - but the RV still came in use.
Without power since Sunday - and yesterday morning emptied the last 5 gal can into the portable backup generator... and no stations open with gas...

Yard had dried out just enough - and fallen tree left enough room to squeak the RV out from behind the garage and up to the house...
Three extension cords from 3 different circuits in RV ran into the house and we had a 33 foot long portable generator with 60 gal of gas to use

Did leave some rather deep ruts across the yard that DW noticed rather quickly.. but got the job done!

Power came back on today - but it was ready to go longer if needed.

Need to add a power tap to be able to plug in a generator cord to tap off power... But had enough extension cords to "git 'er done".
