I would suggest adding (glueing?) sound proofing material onto all of the interior walls of the cabinet in which the generator is installed by the motorhome builder.

The fireproof sound proofing material used by boaters would be best. When you attach any of the material - make sure to not block or decrease the air flow path size - of where cooling air enters and exits the areas around the generator.

Make sure to include the interior cabinet wall right above the generator so as to reduce sound transfer into the coach interior. For the ultimate in any generator vibration isolation from the interior, high performance isolation mounts (they're not expensive) can replace the simple rubber feet that probably are used with the stock installation by the motorhome builder.

IMHO ... you should ignore the smart-alec/wise-guy comments earlier. For what we pay for motorhomes, they better be able to be used just about anywhere anytime to protect and provide for the users comfortably without hookups ... just as a small stick-house does with hookups. A built-in motorhome generator helps do just that.

By the way FWIW, our stick-house in a rural location looses grid power occasionally and our small emergency generator helps sustain us just fine!
