I'm new to this forum and have read through many of the posts on this topic. I'm new to generators and am looking for something to power up a 13,500 BTU AC and MW on my TT. I like the price though am concerned about the noise. I know a lot of folks here think this generator is just too loud to use at a campground. I would agree that it is louder than the Honda or Yamaha 2000 or 3000 watt counterparts. However, if a MH pulls in with his 5500 or 7000 watt Onan, won't the level of noise be comparable to these Chinese generators. The Onan website claims 67 db at 3m at half load for their 5500 Marquis Gold.
Has anyone done any previous research on this?
On a second line of thought, I might be looking at running this from inside the back of my pickup (under the canopy, windows open). Several pros here, don't have to lug it around and I figure the canopy may serve to help reduce noise. Anyone see any cons here I would need to consider (grounding, etc.)?
Thanks.
