The Considerate Camper

Marwayne, WOW, you went above and beyond!  Not only do you have a great QUIET genny (Honda) which is probably the quietest, and most dependable on the market but also add the snout to divert the few db's that come out of that unit.  Can you even hear it from the other side of your pod?

My geny is built in, exhaust diverted to the ground which cuts the noise level by another 50%.

All I can say is that my geny is quieter than the AC that is running in the next site.

The ones I have are quiet enough that you can barely hear them if you're on the opposite side of the trailer. Having been around loud generators, I can understand the concern. At my first outing with our 179, a guy was running a generator about 30 feet away that was loud enough that I couldn't hear my own generators when practically standing next to them.


Maybe the advice should be if you must run generators, run quiet ones.

Originally posted by jato All great rules.  I especially like #17 NO GENERATORS, this is probably one of the more abused rules we hear, hey we're camping, let's enjoy the out of doors w/o  the noise and # 19.  If we were to live by "treating others the way we would wish to be treated", this whole world would be a much better place to live.

There are loops in some campgrounds that don't allow generators, and that's great. There are different kinds of camping and campers (people) though and there is usually room somewhere for camping with generators. May as well try to ban kids.
