All generators make noise, even red or blue especially when powering heavy loads. The 3K Champion inverter you listed is obviously a better bang for the buck and with remote start, it certainly saves the hassle of getting in and out of your rig to stop and start unit.
Whatever genny you plan to use while camping amongst other campers, it is wise to utilize it as little as possible. Having a couple of batteries or more and a good quality inverter allows the use of tvs, dvd players, laptops among many other devices without requiring your genny to drone on endlessly.
In these camping scenarios we run our genny about an hour or two every other day to quickly replenish consumed amphours via our Iota converter, we do have solar as well but these heavily populated campgrounds are not always conducive for effective charging from our solar array. Boondocking allows us to benefit greatly from solar if sun is out in full force and out west where we camp that is usually the norm.
