Would it be possible to park the Newell closer to the house?
If not, maybe you could just "full time in the Newell" until the power is restored!
We just park the Newell in front of the house and transfer food into the Amana; it only takes a few minutes. Using the inverter, we can live in the Newell for about 3 weeks on one tank of diesel. Using the generator for 10/hrs per day (sleeping with AC) we use about 8 gallons/day. That gives us 22 days of usage!
This method gives you many more days of usage than if you just plugged in a 200 yard power extension.
Just my .02
