Thank you. When we had our old Bounder, the Onan was incredibly loud at times but nobody ever said anything. Of course we rarely used it, except to power the microwave or top up the batteries. We don't have a portable genset for the TT yet, thus my questions. But with fewer events having power, (and never at herding trials) it is time. I'd also like to be able to use the AC at dry camp sites, something we avoided like the plague when we had the Bounder because the genny was so loud and used so much gas.
The time we hate noisy generators is when people put them on the far side of their rig. Which ends up being on the living area side of their neighbours rig.
On the Bounder, the generator was housed in a bay on the street side. Not much we could do about it.
Whatever portable generator we get is going to have to travel in the bed of the TV, I wouldn't trust mounting it on the back of the TT. Of course we can move it in the rare cases where parking crews won't let the TV stay in your space even if it fits. I'm more inclined to place it in front or back, rather than on either side, where it may exhaust at our dogs or our neighbor's. Had that happen one time when I ended up parked next to a Really Big Name handler. One of his assistants put a generator off to the side of their space, so that it exhausted into my ex pen. :E
