Location of generator in fifth wheel trailers?

Doesn't putting in the front cause it to be under the bed? Wouldn't that cause you to have to sleep on top of the noise, like in a gas motor home?

Note that many posters *carry* the generator in a front storage compt - which doesn't necessarily mean they run it right there.
It can be as far away as the length of the RV's power cord, which is about 30-36 ft.

The permanent (factory) mounted gens *are* (usually) in a compt under the front of the 5th - under the bedroom area.
No gen there - it's just another storage compt.

As others have noted - campgrounds that do *not* have hookups will have quiet hours -no gens running - at night, usually 8PM - until morning.
(If you have campground power - no need to run a gen).

Like biscuit, many carry our gens in the bed of the pickup - and leave (and run) the gen/s in the pickup bed.

If you're wondering if you need a gen or not - purchase a 5th "generator ready" - without the gen.
Then, if you feel the need - add it later..;)
