Guys with generators ....
First let me start by saying we are actually tent camping this weekend . My wife is determined we do not loose our roots. Anyways, for the love of god, please spend the extra $500 and buy a quite gene...

The irony is that because of generator use, campgrounds are often noisier and less pleasant than RV parks! True, campgrounds are often prettier and less densely packed. But it is hard to enjoy the natural environment while listening to generators. (We like to sit outside in late afternoons after a day of hiking.)
And double irony -- although a Honda generator (which is what I have) is quieter than a construction grade genset, it is still not silent. So we never use ours. It is essentially a giant paperweight, riding around in the back of my truck, just in case.
As I often say to my long-suffering DW when we are camped next to a generator, "This is why we go so far to find remote boondocking sites."
Having said all of that, if someone needs electricity for medical reasons, that is a completely different story. And there is no way to know, without asking, which is rude. So we don't ask.
