...solar set up cost about the same as a factory installed built 5500 Onan.
Being annoyed at other people that they haven't spent a few extra thousand dollars (at least) so *you* don't have to hear a generator... priceless :R ;)
Don't get me wrong; I fully intend to work at putting solar on our TC, and hope to limit gen runtime as much as I can.  I highly doubt it's going to be as 'over the top' (pardon the pun) as the one shown above.
But I'm doing it for my benefit, not yours.  And because I already *have* said generator (two, actually, the built-in Onan 2500 and the Honda EU2200), I'm not in any particular hurry when what I have now is a) already paid for and b) works.  I imagine there are a lot of people out there in similar situations.
If you aren't going to be able to keep quiet without hookups, go to a park. Or at least park away from others. It's pretty simple -- don't come park 30 feet from me in the middle of nowhere, and start up a generator and run it all night long. That's blatantly rude on multiple levels. That's happened to us numerous times and we've moved sites due to it, probably enough to use all the fingers on one hand when counting.
