"Open frame" generators like that are built to put out power at a jobsite and are LOUD. If your buddy likes to take his trailer out in the woods and wild for fishing, hunting and the like, it's probably a good choice because 7000 watts will run the a/c, microwave, etc. Would be OK at a NASCAR race where it's already loud.
BUT, no way is it suitable for a campground, sate park, festival, or any kind of place where folks are camped close together. If your buddy was in the site next to you and fired that DeWalt up, well, he wouldn't be your buddy anymore....
For campground or park use you want an "inverter" generator that has enclosed sides and can throttle down when under partial load. These run MUCH quieter.
