In quiet surroundings you can hear neighbour snoring 100' away, so the only really quiet power source are batteries.
But on campgrounds you always have lot of noises. Once I camp with hookups, but 5 sites away a motorhome had furnace who at night sound like starting jet fighter.
Still on other campground I had close neighbour running inverter generator and then 5 sites away other guy was running 2000 W contractors-grade generator.
I could hear the generator 5 sites away, but not recognize inverter generator noise 25' away.
Fuel consumption? I used to have older RV Generac, who at 4000W rating was using 1 gallon of gas per hr load or not.
My Honda inverter with 1 gallon of gas will power AC for like 6 hr, or with no load run (?) probably for couple of days.
