This is what I did for emergency power for my home. Only in reverse. My Honda 3000 IS has 2 110 volt circuits. I made a power cord with 2 110 circuits into 1 30 amp 220 circuts. Now I’m powering both sides of my fuse panel with 110 power. I just haft to be careful and cut off all of 220 circuits. Works great.

That is a good idea. I tried to do the same with my Honda 5k gernerator. I made a cord to feed my house panel in reverse through the dryer outlet (of course disconnecting from purchase power first) but the GFCI breaker on the generator trips. I need to figure out why. For now I'll just use the generator and extension cords to power essential devices at the house.
You guys are correct, two 120VAC circuits will power a 240VAC device. I was just pointing out that there is nothing in my Montana that runs on 240.
Happy trails.
