regardless of allowed generator run times, If I'm camping anywhere near anyone else, I NEVER start the generator before around 10AM and ALWAYS havew it shut it off no later than 4pm. And I seldom need to run it for more than a hour or so.

Rules are rules, they are clearly posted for virtually every campground, come prepared and abide by them.

Only sympathy I have is for the authorities that have to deal with such arrogance.
