loud generators
We try to boondock when we get out but some of the places we like to go boondockin is limited. As a result we will stay in a campground . They don't offer any type of hookups only a table and a fire ...

I enjoy our travel trailer (wish we were able to get out more), have a generator and only use it when needed (charging batteries up, heating some water when propane side of water heater wasn't working). We scouted some new area a few weeks ago, more primitive and less people. We plan on some trips there next year...
Funny story...
A few years ago, went to forest service campground and were enjoying the quiet... A couple a few sites over got out their yellow (don't know the brand, but could see it was yellow) generator and ran it 2-3 hrs in morning and lunch time and dinner time... guessing the microwave was cooking meals and then the AC was running to keep them cool... the second afternoon, the generator was running crappy and the more the guy worked it, the worst it got until it finally quit. It was good entertainment and much quieter after it quit... or so we thought. The generator was drowning out the multiple family group tent camping nearby.. Their singing (after some refreshments) was terrible, wished the generator was running again... we just ignored others, we were there to get away from our daily grind, not to get upset with others doing the same in their own way... we had the generator along, but never had the need to use it..
