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. My favorite campground isn't segregated. http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_37.php None of them are segregated. But most tent campers don't want to pay extra for water, electricity, and sewer. So they usually stay in places other than the sites where all that is available. BS. If available I always take a spot with power/water. I don't get it. Why? When I tent camped I never carried any electrical gear that wasn't battery powered. Didn't carry a shower or toilet either Used the campground facilities. Coleman stove, battery lights, 5 gallon collapsing water jug. Always thought going light weight was what tent camping was about. Besides that, the RV area is noisy. And most of them I've seen have concrete aprons. Real hard to drive tent stakes through that. Never considered for a second buying an RV spot. Are you talking about a tent, or a popup tent camper? Ditto to the above. I've never tent camped on a site with water or electricity or sewage. I did have a little light I could hook to the motorcycle battery for reading. Putting tent, sleeping bags, Thermarests (yes!), cooking gear, clothes, tools, and my wife and I on two motorcycles didn't leave room for much else. |

We've been doing a lot of camping, with motorcycles/tents and RV's over the past 20+ years, and I've not seen much of that. While at Bryce Canyon National Park we stayed at a very nice campground outside the part, It had a tent area and RV sites. On one of the RV sites was a Moto Guzzi, with a guy and a girl at the picnic table. They paid the extra bucks for the water and electricity, but they were the only ones we saw doing that. They didn't have anything that took 110 volts, but they liked having the water right there. |

If available I always take a spot with power/water. Well, you are exceptional. Most of the time there are tenters where we camp, but I've only seen one, that I can remember, on a site with water and electricity. The great majority of tenters rough it without electricity and water hookups. I have no reason to bull**** you or anyone else about it. And I have no reason either. I would estimate 30-40% tent campers in the A loop of the referenced campground (with power/water), and more in the B, G, and T loops where you would need your generator. Some forgo the tent and sleep outside on a cot or pad when it's nice. Maybe it's regional or age differences? Many campers here bring boats instead of RVs but still like the convenience of a coffee maker and microwave. When I stay for a week or more I bring a small freezer. That's cool. I don't think I intimated you were bull****ting me or anyone else. I told you my experiences, you told me yours. You refer to one campground, and I've stayed in dozens, just in the past ten years. When we stay a week, we bring a refrigerator, freezer, oven, coffee maker, and a toilet. And, have as good a time as we did when we had a couple sleeping bags and a tent. Often, we'll take the boat *and* the RV. My wife's getting pretty good at towing the boat with her Highlander. Both Lake Anna and Solomon's Island area offer great boating and fishing. |

You will not want to use this for home use. We used to use one and had to put it in the detached garage and run cables to the house or it would keep the whole neighborhood awake. They are made for construction sites, hope you are not trying to cheap out on a tool, cause if it's home generation you are looking for, you probably bought the wrong tool... Supposedly, this one is 'Super Quiet', with a 70 dB noise level. If I use it at home, it would be only for a few absolute necessities - with time management. I primarily wanted something I could throw in the pickup for camping trips where electricity isn't available. 70dB is hardly super quiet. My home genny runs at 60 dB in test mode and 66 dB at load, or about the same, to my ears, as a neighbor running his lawn tractor. 70 dB is significantly louder but not annoyingly so during a power outage, since others will be running them, too. Did you pay your taxes yet or is that an expense the rest of us bear? |

These are reasonably quiet at 53 to 59 dB depending on load level: http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/Honda-EU1000IKC-Portable-Generator/p6548.html 70dB is approximately 10 times louder than 59 dB. Even the small Hondas get annoying after awhile but at 29 pounds are easy to carry and load into a truck. ....and cost almost ten times as much!

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. Apparently my camping use got overlooked. I wouldn't be using it at campgrounds where electricity is available, but where I'm either alone or with others on a generator. I've never, while in campgrounds in the US, had a need for a generator. Friends who've traveled with their trailers to Alaska had need of a generator, both while boondocking alongside the road and in some of the Alaskan campgrounds. Hell, I won't even play a radio outside in the campgrounds we frequent! That's odd, I've camped all over the U.S. in all kinds of weather and did so perfectly fine without a generator or electricity. But then again, I actually camp, as opposed to just moving to a different location with all of the amenities of my home. I don't need a microwave, electric coffee maker, etc. to have a good experience. I am old and like comfort. Have a truck camper, and boat remote lakes at times. Would be nice to have emergency power and a way to charge up the batteries, especially if the truck batts went down. That cute little Honda EU2000i might be right up your alley: http://tinyurl.com/cxpl99n Yeah, if you can afford it, it's a nice rig.... however..... If I were him, and onlywanted to use it for emergency and battery charging, etc I might "consider" the 1000, it's sooooo quiet even compared to the 2000. We used the 2000 honda at Unadilla and had to put it in the hauler overnight and it was still too loud to run overnight. The 1000 would have been fine if you got the super quiet model, running in that 30 foot hauler with the doors mostly shut... That one's just too small. With resource management the 2K should be enough, but not the baby of the family. |

Really? You can hike to the AT trail for a few days at a time and never see a vehicle. That's great if you think the east coast of the US is the only place you want to see but we like hiking around out west. I have been on the AT a number of times but the scenery doesn't really change that much from Georgia to Pennsylvania. Well, I've also hiked the Pacific Coast Trail, spent two weeks backpacking in Yellowstone, and in my teens spent a summer in Yosemite. I find it funny that you don't think the scenery changes much from GA to PA. I guess you really didn't notice much. That may be your trouble, you need to take the time to look, learn and appreciate.

So, what's your point? Are you saying that you can't hike and tent camp in those areas??? |

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. 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. |

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. |

On one of the RV sites was a Moto Guzzi, with a guy and a girl at the picnic table. They paid the extra bucks for the water and electricity, but they were the only ones we saw doing that. They didn't have anything that took 110 volts, but they liked having the water right there. Let's see, by tent camping, I have a wider choice of beautiful places to camp, I use a LOT less fuel, I can park just about anywhere, I have a lot less hassle traveling, can take my boat, don't have insurance of my tent, can pick up and go in less than a half an hour, and on and on. Yep, tents are horrible! Tents are great! I can't imagine hiking into a beautiful place with a boat. That's got to be difficult! Where did you get that idea? Are you really as stupid as you act here? And, if you're not carrying insurance on whatever gets you to the hiking area, you should reconsider. And, actually, if while you were camping your tent and everything you owned burnt to the ground, I'll bet your homeowner's insurance, if you have same, would cover it, at least past the deductible. I should carry insurance on my tent?? THAT is what I said. It get really frustrating trying to get you to understand the simplest of things. You are really stupid. I cannot understand how you think you have a lot less hassle traveling. Have you ever owned an RV of any type? If not, then you've no idea of what is or isn't involved. Yes, I have. Assumptions again? No, see above. You should read your homeowner's policy. I'll bet it *does* cover your tent and all your other camping equipment. Does your homeowner's policy cover your travel trailer?? NOW maybe, possibly, you'll get the point, but somehow I doubt it. My homeowner's insurance covers my tent, and all my camping gear. You should read your policy. Let it go John. Loogie prefers primitive camping, where as, you and I prefer something a little more civilized. Nothing wrong with that. To each his own. I have and still enjoy both. But, when I take the bike and tents, I have insurance. Poor Loogy implied that he didn't need insurance to go camping. |

So, what's your point? Are you saying that you can't hike and tent camp in those areas??? I am saying I was not willing to drive to those places and trying to pack your camping supplies on an airplane is not tenable. At that point you are left with camping where you are willing to drive. My neighbor was an RV "camper" . He always had a six figure RV in his driveway or in a paid parking lot facility (most of the time). He always ended up losing about $50,000-100,000 when he traded them. They were a maintenance black hole, got about 4-5 MPG on the road towing another car. The campgrounds were not cheap and he still had to buy food in or out. We sat down and compared his cost to me and my wife, flying 1st class, staying in suites in nice hotels, renting an SUV and cooking in or eating out. We came away cheaper and we got a lot more actual vacation out of our 2 or 3 weeks (unless driving a bus is your idea of fun). Unless you actually go camping 4 or 5 times a year, locally, the hotel is always going to be cheaper once you actually add up all of your expenses.. I love to drive around the U.S.A. Did you realize you can see a lot more driving than you can in an airplane? |
