Jim1, I did much the same during the blizzard of 21! This is what I use:

I have a Champion dual fuel genny that makes just under 4K watts and has an RV plug on it and use an adapter to go from RV plug to regular 30A plug then the electrical outlet (I guess inlet would make more sense) is on the outside of my home. I had an electrician run power to the box mounted just under my home breaker box and be switched over quickly. I keep 10 gallons of gas handy. It was more complicated to hook up that transfer switch than I was comfortable with and used a master electrician. I have the master bedroom, my home office, kitchen, living room connected. In the kitchen, we can not use the stove or microwave as they are on separate circuits and not wired in. Stove is 220 and microwave draws too much. We have a Coleman camp stove for cooking and can watch TV and have internet on the genny.
