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.

Kinda on topic here-today I was over at friend's house. I offered to bring RV to see if he had any way to receive over the air TV signals at his house. It was hot and I was running motorhome AC and generator. I had backed down his long driveway and forgot to roll up driver window and didn't notice. Whole time we're in motorhome rotating antenna, testing for channels I smell exhaust. Never noticed it like that before. Open window was right next to generator exhaust pipe.
Anyway bottom line I will nap in my Class C with generator running but I am aware of the wind direction and won't open any windows downwind of generator exhaust. Most of the time I don't have windows open at all.
As far as overnight goes, there are places in desert southwest where 90 degree low temps are not unheard of. Those same areas are frequently off season when the weather is that hot-I can usually get Passport America rate more cheaply than powering the generator with gasoline during the stay. If I was somewhere pretty to look at stars, I'd run the generator as needed, but be sure to have fully functional CO detector and be conscious of wind direction.
