Difficult but not impossible but consider you future camping plans. Camp grounds, such as the primitive state or federal parks without power hook ups, normal have quiet time from 10PM to 6AM or so when you can't run a generator. If you're way out in the sticks night time temps cool off pretty well so the need for air conditioning and the generator isn't as great as you might expect.
Also a modern coach has a bit better sound insulation then you might think. My generator is under the kitchen stove in the front living area. Even with a entry level coach I can hardly hear it when I do use it. Next time you are looking at a potential buy ask the seller to run the generator and the roof air conditioner. You'll find the air conditioner blower makes much more noise than the generator. Plus the furnace is probably louder than both combined.
My advise - ear plugs.
