They're probably running their generators for long periods because they have so many regular 120V AC appliances in their RVs and aren't aware of or set up to instead run them off large RV battery banks with inverters between solar - or periodic generator powered - battery charge ups.
We try to use 12V DC appliances as much as possible in our RV to reduce dependence on inefficient inverters, use periodically the main engine alternator or a very small and quiet portable generator for battery charging, and use the larger built-in generator for short microwave bursts and extended mid-day air conditioning.
