I don't own a Class-C but am looking to buy however I have owned five other RV's through the years and my last one was a big fifth wheel and I ordered with a genny. From that day forward I promised myself no matter what type of TV I owned, trailer or motorhome, I would always have a genny.
In my fifth wheel it was so easy to stop on a long trip and fire it up and make lunch, watch TV or take a nap. I used it many times while I over nighted at rest stops, truck stocks and one funeral home. We were invited to a wedding that was in a pasture and was so nice to have power and AC.
As far as running it at a campsite, I assume you mean a primitive site that doesn't already have power, they do make noise but I had a 5500 Onan and it was very quiet, a campsite or two over and your couldn't hear it. Now some people take their $300 china gennies and set them on the ground and they are so loud.
Keep in mind I'm in the south and having AC is important to me but might not be to you. Good luck
