- mjk301ExplorerThis website provides a general review of some 2000-3000 watt generators good for RVing and camping.
http://www.generatorgator.com/best-generators-small-rv-or-camper-2015/ - bikendanExplorerthis generator is way louder than comparable inverter generators.
the Champion 2000 is much quieter and cheaper and better supported.
and you can parallel them. - gboppExplorerI would buy a Harbor Freight Generator before the Generac.
And, I don't plan on buying a Harbor Freight Generator. - MEXICOWANDERERExplorerToo many stupid fixes on near-new units for me. QUALITY of noise is entirely different than db rating. For.instance the scraping of fingernails on a blackboard is much softer than a passage of Mozart.
- gboppExplorerI've never owned one.
Have you checked the reviews on Amazon.com? - brireneExplorer

Then after a long stint on a workbench it gets a lot louder for a short time...
Generacs don't like me.
:B - JIMNLINExplorer IIII have a 5500-8500 Generac 11 hp Briggs that I bought new in oct '01. Can't help you on the noise level as this is a working gen set. Never had it camping nor would I want to hear it or camp near it.
Its been on top of LEQ horse trailers/flatdeck trailers/hanging under a front loader on straps in all kinds of weather and abuse running 24/7 even going down the road o n extended runs. I have no idea how many hours it has but its got to be a bunch.
It still starts the first pull. Can't get any better service that its given us.
