I camp/fish down on the Snake River in Hells Canyon. There is a reason it is called that. The afternoon heat can become unbearable and rarely cools off at night.
I run my genny and AC from early afternoon until my first bathroom break after going to bed. Like others have stated make sure your alarms are in good working order!!
If that generator in your photo is what I think it is - a Honda EU3000iS - then there's probably good reason to be able to use it in a whole bunch of camping situations where other generators might not be appropriate - including at night.
At a loudness level of only 49dB @ 1/4 of it's continuous rated power level of 2800 watts, I think that makes it just about the quietest small portable generator in the world:

I've "tried to hear" certain large trailered low RPM diesel generators at shows that were quieter, but I don't put them in the "portable" category.
(We use a small portable Honda generator for some things when camping that might be the world's quietest small portable generator in the world at it's full power (54dB), but it won't run a microwave or an air conditioner.)
