Or can I use one. I've searched the web for a while and they all list
using 2 of these great little machines and something like a GenTrans
switch system. Thing is, I don't want to buy another generator, I like
just the one!

And I only get blackouts very rarely, a few times a year at most. Just
want to run a few lights, TV, sump pump, hot water exhaust, maybe a
fridge. I only have 2000W to play with though.

Thanks for any tips!

Simple, try it and see! You already have one 2000 watt generator. Hook up
the loads you want to run an try it. I do believe you will fall shot trying
to run too many motors though, sump pump and fridge for example.. You need a
bit of reserve generally to start motors, 2-1/2 times of the motor load is a
general size to shot for.
