I'll fess up we run our on-board Onan more than I wish. And I do think about the noise bothering the neighbors. I feel really bad when I'm the first one starting up.
But - we're a family of five. 3 teenagers.
The predominate reason we're on the genny is not AC, not the TV.
It's the microwave.
Three starvin' teenagers - I can feed one or two off the campstove, but I do need the microwave.
cream of wheat, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, etc. can all be made easily on a campstove (or RV stove) in bulk without needing a microwave.
If the kids are so hungry they can't wait 5 minutes for the food to cook on the stove, then they can eat a poptart or fruit to tide them over.
Or pick up another campstove and let the teenagers fix their own breakfasts.
What do tent campers do with teens? They seem to eat very well. There are options for a microwave, electric coffee pot, toaster, etc.
