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?]]> Thu, 14 Apr 2016 06:16:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7740&PID=73183#73183 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7740&PID=73170#73170 Author: Leo B

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

Ryobi Ryi2200, 63dB max. I keep auto throttle on most of the time, so it's much quieter than that except when the A/C compressor kicks on.]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2016 16:39:28 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7740&PID=73168#73168 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7740&PID=73167#73167 Author: marwayne

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.]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2016 14:12:44 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7740&PID=73156#73156 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7740&PID=73153#73153 Author: David and Danette

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.

Sorry, but if it's 85+ degrees outside and I'm boondocking it, I will be running generators to power the A/C. I will shut them down when it cools off.

By definition, if boondocking/dispersed camping, you shouldn't be close enough to other campers to have to worry about it. At least the way we do it. (but we don't use a genny anyways)

This has been talked about before but, a refresher is not likely to hurt. It is from the KOA newsletter. Feel free to add your own comments.
