Those of you who own gas powered Class A motorhomes....how do you deal with the noise of the generator under your bed at night?

We have never run our genset while sleeping. Is there a reason why you have the need for doing so and realize that this isn't answering your question?

If you are somewhere that doesn't have hook ups and it hot in the summertime, you'll want to run the AC units. The only way to do that is to run the generator.

Personally, I have this exact scenario happen frequently. That's because I use my RV for tailgating - arriving Friday night - and there are no hookups on campus where I park. And, the Georgia nights are still quite warm at night in September. I cannot sleep without the AC units on.

When I had my Winnebago, I would turn the AC as cold as I could and get the bedroom cold enough to hang meat. Then, I'd turn it all off and go to sleep with a blanket or 2 on me. I'd peel the blankets off over night as it got warm in there. Many times it was still too hot to do that and I would run the generator and AC and sleep on the couch instead of the bed. That helped get away from the noise and vibration some.

The Wanderlodge I have now is so much better equipped to handle this situation. I can run the generator and not even hear it or feel it over the AC. It has made life MUCH better for me.
