I live in Florida and experience short term power outages in storm season. I do not want to install pro charger but I think I can run power from truck 240 outlet to the Nema 14-50 outlet in garage. In past I have done this with a generator but first flip the main breaker on entry box. This way I could use minimum electrical outlets in house until power is restored. Never had a problem using generator this way.
Dos anyone see a problem with using truck the same way?
