It's definitely worth a try. Many generators have thier own
circuit breaker, which should help protect the generator. Please
expect th at 5,000 watts will burn probably two galons an hour of
gasoline.

You might be better served to get two or three of these

and pour about ten galons of water into the tub. We had a
conversation about this on alt.survival, and aparently from what
we can figure one immersion heater will warm 10 gals of water to
bath temp in about four hours.

Please let us know how things go for you.

I suggest you TRY your generator on the tank. Its very possible
it
might run ok, although it will; be full load...........

Most enerators understate capacity and it may heat a bit slower
while
still heating acceptably.I aSKED A FRIEND WHOS OLD HOME RAN ON
GENERATOR DURIUNG EMERGENCIES he had no choice being on A WELL

His 5KW generator tolerated his 5500 watt tank ok, although
heating was
a bit slower
