Residentials and generators - all day.
I'm in a rustic no-hookups CG where I'm fortunate to be able camp well away from a newbie with an i-Power brand inverter generator that he runs ALL DAY. Why? Because he has a residential refrigerato...

I over-nighted in a Walmart parking lot. Far edge of the property, no other RVer's in sight, generator running. It was something like a million degrees out so we ran the generator all night so we would have A/C. The next morning a guy in a 5th wheel parked 2 full double rows away, who pulled in after us, stopped by to let me know that apparently I did not know the rules about running a generator all night. Just grin and imagine how you would have responded......My response was not nearly as kind as the worst thing you just imagined!
I see this scenario as 1st come 1st served.
If no other RV's are around I will run genset while Wally docking. Overnight if necessary.
However if they are RV's already there ahead of me and they are not running gensets.Than I will not use mine.
Ahhh, this reminds me of salmon dipping at Chitna, AK one year. We went down with about five RVs. There was a huge long bank at the river, probably a mile long. No one else was there then and we camped at one end.
While we were setting up another RV came along and sat up within 100 feet of us. I went over and suggested he might want to move a little further away as we'd be running the generators 24 hours a day to freeze the salmon after we cleaned them, that we had five dogs with us that would be running loose (he had a dog also) and we had a lot of dirt bikes with us that we'd be riding while we weren't dip netting. With 24 hours of daylight, you only went to sleep when you were tired.
He stayed where he was, but he complained about the noise and dogs for three days. Sometimes you can't help stupid people.
