I do agree with how you have planned for your retirement; same. We've made numerous upgrades to our home in other areas and as necessary as a generator has become in Texas, the construction and issues that would come with it would be too disruptive. I'm glad you have the RV generators to help when you lose power. I can't even believe I'm having this type of conversation, but since February of 2021, we haven't been able to count on keeping the "lights on" if we should have any severe weather and that's sad. The only time I can recall we lost power for several days was back in the early 1970's when Texas got hit with a bad ice storm. We were without power for days and my dad, very cleverly got us through it with a warm burning fire, using camping gear to cook food and camping gear for lighting etc. We've always laughed at my mom's comment that she at least had her electric blanket when the power went out lol. Since that storm, I've not recalled any major power outage issues since, however, my area is a bit out in pseudo-country and we do tend to have issues with bad electrical storms, however, it usually is a short outage if we have one at all.
Severe winter storms in the forecast have a new meaning though to us.
