you'd be running your genny off your PW's belt pulley! Plus, you'd be running 120 volts DC. None of this new "alternating current" junk, especially not polyphase. Just the names sound light in the loafers. If DC was good enough for Edison, and good enough for all those old farmers before the TVA and the BPA came along and hooked them up to FDR's communistic dams, it should be good enough for you. Stack up 10 car batteries and you're good to go. Just fire up the truck once in a while to re-charge the batteries.
