The Uniform Electrical Code requires a positive disconnect from the public power grid prior to connecting to an auxiliary power supply so that the public power grid is not energized.
Tuga has a good idea. When our power has gone off for a couple of hours during the hot summer (rolling black outs but the power company doesn't like to admit it), we have fired up the generator in the coach, turned on the air conditioners and were prepared to go out there if the power was off longer than expected. However, the thought of trying to get the food from our 27 cubic foot and 20 cubic foot household refrigerators into our little 8 cubic foot RV refrigerator is interesting. Those of you with the 21 cubic foot refrigerators in your coaches would be in much better shape.
