Get a campsite with a power pedestal for hookups.
Running generators in parking lots is frowned upon, your overnight stay is supposed to be non intrusive, as in no noise pollution, and no smell of exhaust or carbon monoxide. This type of behavior is camping, not overnighting, and will tend to get all RV's banned from overnighting at public locations. You need to be stealthy and not noticed, not bring attention to your activities with noise and exhaust smells that are untreated, for the sake of only your comfort, no one elses.
