As for noise TT vs tents, sorry I'm not buying that the mechanicals (WH & Pump)are loud and rude. Granted if you were tenting so close to one, maybe... But most noise is contained in the TT, where there is no buffer for noise from people in tents.
There's nothing like sitting on the shore of a nice mountain lake at dust expecting to hear the loons and instead hear two or three generators running. Sorry but those that want to run their AC and generators all day and night really don't belong in some campsites.
I think there is a difference between a generator running and a water pump or water heater running. I have never heard someone else's water pump or water heater running while in a campground. I have never heard mine running when I have been sitting outside in my campsite. I have heard generators running from 5 to 6 campsites away. Comparing the two is a bit extreme - which I believe was GeorgeNJ's point.
I have never had a tent camper take issue camping next to me and my clipper (or my TT before that). I have never taken issue camping next to a tent camper. We all seem to get along just fine.
