You might also try parking the generator 100 feet away and using the 12
gage cord to your house.

Understood. The last suggestion is not an option for me. My generator is connected via a 10ft long 240V 3-wire to a transfer switch and powers my house (water pump, fridge, etc). I want to be helpful, but cannot be to my family's detriment.

Detriment comes in all degrees, so don't put it that way to your
neighbor. Say that you'd have to disconnnect eveything to move the
generator and could only reconnect a little bit to your own house.
