It's not very easy to hear a twin cylinder Onan generator in a compartment with side exhaust.
I have yet to see a generator that I can't hear, or the one that is "not very easy to hear". Most RVs carry el-cheapo generators with no provisions made to quiet it down during a short-term stay.
Back to the topic - it is difficult to run A/C without a generator, no matter how small the rig. With the smallest and most economic A/C and extremely well insulated rig you still need 300-400 AH bank for just one night. Most RVs are big and poorly insulated. I would imagine a small well insulated RV with Li battery bank and a small inverter type A/C (I don't mean "the other inverter"), - don't know if inverter A/C under 9000 BTU even exist - in any event, such thing would be expensive.
