If power outages are short and infrequent, couldn't you just get an AC Inverter for your car, run an extension cord to the house to power the bare minimum required on your tank? Maybe a cell phone charger and some odds and ends.
Its inefficient to idle a car for several hours, but im assuming you already own the car, the inverter is cheap, and You dont have To worry about a generator starting after its been sitting for ages.
They make some fairly high wattage inverters. I have an inexpensive one thats rated to 1000w, not sure the amp load, but thay could power a heater and a return punp.. And your car is unlikely to overheat idling in winter.
Is this a bad idea?
