Naio,
Well, I'll try again with my same sales pitch:
Everyone is assuming you mean "new generator". How about an ultra-quiet, non-inverter generator, that is not electric start, but has a small enough engine such that only a gentle non-jirking but steady pull of the starter rope is all that's needed .... and is discontinued so that you merely have to locate and buy one used for probably around $150 to $250?
It'll charge RV batteries, run RV computers and televisions, run small RV vacuum cleaners, run some hair dryers on their LOW setting, run most corded electric drills, run some corded electric leaf blowers, run some electric heaters on their LOW setting, run more than one cooling fan at the same time, etc..
That would be the generator that someone above has already mentioned - a 650 watt Honda EX650 that runs at a constant noise level of 54dB. You just have to be able to lift it at around 51 lbs. - that weight is partially due to it's insulated steel case which helps make it one of the quietist small generators in the world.
Here's some additional verbiage on it:
