This has been worth some popcorn, thanks everyone.

Here is the bottom line. If you have a nasty loud obnoxious generator and you are not a total moron you are aware of it. So please be courteous of others around you. If you are not aware ,than you are the he same guy that licks his fingers as you work your way through the salad bar. Same guy that takes a phone call in a movie theater. Same guy that can't be bothered with putting your shopping cart in the cart corral at the store. Same guy that goes to return something without a receipt. Same guy that chews with your mouth open and burps at will on the first date. And my personal favorite. the guy that rips a** wherever you feel like but particularly likes to when lots of people are around and they have no way out.
So there is no hope for you.. and you will defend that pos generator to the end.

And YOU get to decide what is or is not a POS? You wan't others to be "courteous" yet you are incapable of tolerant? Pot meet kettle.

We generally don't carry our yellow unit because we always stay somewhere with FHU. We stopped at a city park RV park to stay Friday night. Nice quiet park in a small Texas town.

Unknown to us they will not unlock the pedestal after 8pm and we rolled at 9:30. It was 85 degrees and as humid as could be. DW is screaming AC.

I read all the rules posted. Nothing mentioned about quiet times, no generators, etc. If I had yeller with me I would have fired her up.

As it was we roughed it out with a fan powered by our inverter.

I enjoy our travel trailer (wish we were able to get out more), have a generator and only use it when needed (charging batteries up, heating some water when propane side of water heater wasn't working). We scouted some new area a few weeks ago, more primitive and less people. We plan on some trips there next year...

Funny story...
A few years ago, went to forest service campground and were enjoying the quiet... A couple a few sites over got out their yellow (don't know the brand, but could see it was yellow) generator and ran it 2-3 hrs in morning and lunch time and dinner time... guessing the microwave was cooking meals and then the AC was running to keep them cool... the second afternoon, the generator was running crappy and the more the guy worked it, the worst it got until it finally quit. It was good entertainment and much quieter after it quit... or so we thought. The generator was drowning out the multiple family group tent camping nearby.. Their singing (after some refreshments) was terrible, wished the generator was running again... we just ignored others, we were there to get away from our daily grind, not to get upset with others doing the same in their own way... we had the generator along, but never had the need to use it..

Lots of quiet gennys available from Champion and others. Honda and Yamaha are not the only ones.

Wow, as always, nothing gets accomplished. The folks that participate in these forums are good people.
When something or someone bothers you. Go over, BE NICE, and ask one question. Are you a member of RV Net, Good Sams, etc ?? Odds are, they are NOT !! Tell them to sign up so they can be educated and be smart HAPPY campers or RVers.. Ranting on here just ruffles the feathers for some.
Its obvious winter is coming. Be happy :):)

Red, Blue, Yellow, Green.. Should not matter. Equal rights for gennys...:)

The theme of the tread didn't start out anti generator. It started out with those that have/ can afford the red and blue ragging about those that don't have them. It has progressed into the people with the silent solution telling them to not beat their chest too hard.

We need to have a noisy zone for generators and load music so they can all enjoy their camping style together.

I far prefer to blend in with the tent campers that prefer to enjoy what nature provides.

For you anti-generator folks, keep in mind that many of us have been campers for a long time and have now aged a bit. We still love to camp(RV) but we want more amenities and would never go back to tent camping with no elec. etc. We especially want to keep warm and comfortable; thus the generator.
