running generator all night
Heard different opinions on all night use as you sleep. Is it ok if all Systems are in good order and in a compatible area as to not bother others.

Everything I have ever read consistently states you should NOT run a genset overnight or while sleeping. I will never do it despite what equipment might be added. It's simply not worth the risk.
Show me a source. I have never read such a statement. We have been tailgating UF football games for over 20 years with hundreds of other RVs in the reserved RV lots. Everyone runs their genset from Friday thru Sunday 24 hours a day, 6-7 games per year and there has NEVER been an incident.
Portable gensets are not allowed and all gensets have to have a stack.
I HAVE heard of a few genset deaths and BOTH were portable with no stack. One was in Gainesville at the drags many years ago. And the other was a few years ago up north, tent campers and someone started their gen up, again, no stack and the exhaust filled their tent.
Fifty people a day die from prescription drug overdoses and 40K+ people die a year on our roads.
About twenty thousand people die a year in hospitals OF THINGS THEY CAUGHT IN THE HOSPITAL.
Those things are dangerous.
