which generator would you recommend?

Please, for the love of Mike, spend the extra few bucks and get a QUIET generator.

What about those with built in generators? Also, I don't think it is really fair to tell someone that they are a bad camper if they don't spend money to buy certain type of equipment, especially when their budget does not allow. That would be like telling those who can only afford a pop up to buy a fifth wheel or someone with a 20 year old camper that they need to buy something newer, better looking and more efficient. Who are we to tell other people how to camp? Courtesy goes far more than running a generator when camping.

I'm not telling anyone that they're a bad camper if they don't spend money to buy a certain type of equipment. I'm telling them that they're bad campers if they don't give a (string of asterisks) about whether their actions harm the ability of other campers to enjoy the park. I would no more run a $300 open frame generator than I would play Bach's "Toccata & Fugue in D Minor" on a set of train horns at 7 AM. I also wouldn't dump my black tank on the ground next to your camper. I wouldn't fail to clean up after my dog, or let my children run screaming and unsupervised. You're right - courtesy does go far more than running a generator while camping. Unfortunately, many people were not taught common courtesy by their parents.
