I would settle for 120V loads, not a problem.

Yes, shouldn't be a problem.

It could be almost as tall as I want. This is in an unfinished garage so there's plenty of room.

Considering the generator only support 30A, I don't need to go over 100. I don't plan to run everything in the house at once, it would just be nice to have more than 6 circuits available without having to run extension cords for the things I want to run during an outage.
Also it would be nice to have a Watt meter for when the generator is running. My transfer switch has one of these and it's quite helpful to know how close I am to reaching the 5500W rating of the generator.
Thanks Ron!
