John, the point is that if you are thinking of it for camping use

and plan to stay at public campgrounds ... they are most likely not
going to allow use of a generator like that. It's too noisy and an
annoyance to other campers. You might not mind, but others will
definitely complain. Heck, I remember back when we were into the RV
thing for a while. Campsites didn't like you running the generator
that came with the camper.

Anyone in a nearby tent will especially hate it.

Actually, I can't even think of a place we've stayed where tents were
nearby. Usually the tent area
is well removed from the RV area.


Oh well... Looks like you are gonna' be one of "those guys".... Tent
campers can see you coming a mile away.

Tent camping in a RV park is like camping in your back yard. Why? There
are so many places you can hike to to get away from "it all".


My favorite campground is a normally peaceful mixed-use campground at
the mouth of a great fishing river. I tow a boat instead of an RV and
don't care if generators are running in Wall-Mart parking lots.

The running of generators in WalMart parking lots is frowned upon by much of the camping community.
But, it's up to the manager of the local WalMart. We found the free overnights at some of the truck
stops, like Flying J's, were nice.
