RW> Flatbed as in truck? Is the generator hooked up yet?

Flatbed as in the rolling carts.  I used the generator during Hurricane
Sandy - as we did lose power here for 2 days.  My biggest trouble was
finding gas - as most stations had no power in my area.  Had to drive a
good bit to find a working pump.  It went through about 5-6 gallons in 14
hours.  Then again, I was powering my entire house with it.  :)

I made (4) custom power cords going to separate outlets - each that went to
different breakers on the panel.  I was able to get around 60 AMPS to
backfeed the house.  

I had several large flatscreen TVs on, hair dryer, furnace (gas), microware
and toaster oven all on at the same time.  Also had lights and 10 PCs
going.

That must be some sticky spit.  :)
