I've been thinking of carrying a 1/2" thick 4x6 piece of carpet foam just to throw under the motor home, under the generator so the noise doesn't bounce around and rattle throughout the campground.

The idea has been around for a while, and has some merit. On the small gas & LP Onans, most of the cooling air exits down thru the hole around the exhaust pipe in the bottom. It carries a lot of mechanical noise with it. I suspect parking on grass has a similar effect, but the carpet or carpet pad should absorb some noise before it's reflected back from a hard surface. You'd want to avoid a fire hazard, like hot exhaust pipe too close to an oil-soaked piece of foam.
I don't know how the cooling air exits on the QD's like the OP has, tho'.
