That refer on propane power still uses electricity. And whether you have several days is dependent on a lot of things, such as weather or watching TV's. And why not run your generator at Wally World?

As for running the generator - you're trying to not be obnoxious. Yes people will hear you such as near by residential areas. Ask me. We live in a very nice residential area of one acre lots. Then Walmart built close by. Yes you can hear a generator, delivery trucks, snow removal equipment, etc from over there.
