Quiet is overrated. First of all my experience is those with the so called "quiet" generators seem to think they can run them anytime they want regardless of the posted hours.
First of all, Quiet is always better. No one wants to hear a loud, noxious generator reverberating throughout the campground whether inside or outside operation hours. And I have not personally heard any genny running outside the posted hours for very long. Usually it is just an oversight by a wayward camper. Grouping us quiet genny users as inconsiderate is absurd. Sounds like you have "Quiet Genny Envy".

Before I turn mine on I go to my neighbors and tell them I am going to run my generator and apologize for the noise.
I don't feel a need to ask permission as most are aware of the operation hours. Also, most won't hear my genny purring along while my batteries charge as I point the exhaust away from any campsites.

I paid about $600 at CW on sale.
An extra $400 would've bought you a campground friendly Honda.

First of all I was not grouping ALL quiet Generator owners. I WAS relating my personal experience with this issue and I have observed it many times in Parks, Natl Parks and other types of parks.

As for ENVY...Oh please I don't see the purpose to get into a tit for tat of what I can afford or not but suffice it to say I own a watch that costs more than my New Dodge Cummins 4x4 pick up. Envy is not the issue. I don't envy anyone who misunderstands value vs cost.

And if you read my post carefully you will see that I don't ask permission, I inform politely.

As for the last comment about the added $400. that's the Value vs cost equation I mentioned above. I didn't succeed at business by needlessly overpaying for equipment.
