Great. We just don't see that many tenters paying the extra for the hookups where we camp.

But why would you feel free to annoy them...?

How?


If you're not planning to run a noisy generator near them at night
never-mind.


I can't imagine anyone doing that. Although, I have seen show stars, like Rhonda Vincent, leave the
generator in their bus running all night at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival. Their bus was
probably a hundred yards from the nearest RV, and the generator was very quiet.

If you camp where people are doing as you describe, running a noisy generator all night, try asking
them to shut it down. There must be rules about such things. Most places we've been to disallow
running generators after around 10-11 PM.


The rules are probably more enforced in campgrounds where there are a
lot of seasonal campers. The reality is the more transitional sites a
lot of times although the rules are there, the owners are not really
interested in encountering the kind of drunken asshole that usually runs
the things, at that time of night....

I have seen tenters with a generator. They bring everything in a pickup and have room for lots of
stuff. But, I've not heard one running at night.
