Pour 1/2 a cup of sugar in the gennie fuel tank when He's not around. That will stop the noise.

 Actually it's people with this attitude who create the problems on the road, no thought for others just me me me. This country doesn't belong to us, we are the custodians of it for a short while and are failing miserably by present indications. Sadly a growing number love the idea of turning the bush into the urban polluted, noisy, smelly squalor they are used to and destroy it as fast as they can, by ignoring the abience of nature so they can feel comfortably with never ending noise, pollution and be in their normal element.

You can always tell where people with generators camp, they are also the ones who make the most noise, leave the most rubbish, chop down trees for their stupid fires and generally make a nuisance of themselves for others, with their never ending noise and pollution. There is no such thing as a quiet generator, they are smelly, noisy, heavily pollute the air and environment with their destructive emissions. But that doesn't matter, those claiming theirs are quiet, are basically deaf from spending their entire live is never ending noise, so noise is all they can handle. Take them out in the real bush without their polluting junk and wasteful crap they all carry, they crack up within the day and can't handle it. Seen this many times and always get a good laugh out of it.

Camps without generators, are always quiet and peaceful, people appreciate and enjoy the sound of nature and if you have a functioning logical thinking brain, always relaxes you. They keep whatever noise they make inside, pretty hilarious this claiming the TV radio or music will disturb them. That would be true if your only experience in life is never ending noise, so they need to have things turned up full bore, so they can hear them.

Real people don't suffer from environment deafness as urban people do, so don't require high volumes to hear and appreciate media. Most urban people are so deaf, they never hear anything in the bush, so need lots of noise and pollution smells to feel comfortable, pretty strange approach to life really. Which is another reason we steer well clear of the terrorists (van tourist) trails and their never ending noise and pollution they distribute every where they go.

Wow what a stupid thing to say lumping all people with generators in that group. You are the sort we dont want on the road. Self rightous, its all about me ect.
We come off a farming property, had been all our lives down near the Otways, yea thats forest if you dont know, so we are well aquianted with the bush. I am also a zoologist, thats animals and wildlife if you didnt know. We live on the road because we love the life now. We have a genny which is very quiet. No im not deaf, ive never lived in a noisy place. I detest noise. I can sit near mine and read a book so clearly you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to some gennys. We dont chop trees or leave rubish. I am also of indiginous blood so i know more than most about caring for the land that belongs to US and the damage that has been done. Doesnt mean i cant or wont enjoy it. We hardly use our genny as we have ample solar, but it is used if we have to for a short time.

You people who whinge about people with generators are not being considerate, well how bout you look at yourself. Your the ones not showing consideration for somebody that might need to use it, esp for medical reason. They have just as much right to a life of the road as you. But im guessing most of the whingers here do no live on the road, but just go on their short trips, like weekend warriosr who wont go home. I have never known a LONG TERM REAL nomad who dosnt carry a genny for one reason or another.

Put it this way for you consideration of course. We have $1200 worth of batteries in our rig that the solar power up. If they get run down too far due to a week of bad weather it can damage them, then we have the spend money to replace them. Of course im going to run the genny for a few hours to recharge. Are you going to buy me new batteries just because i bothered you with 4 hours out of 24 with a genny you wont hardly here under my truck? Even if somebody complains, im still going to save my batteries. Why should i have to go to a caravan park to recharge. I like the freedom.

Heres a tip for you. Dont park near me in summer if its hot. I will be running my genny for the aircon as i have 2 birds who travel with us and one can not regulate his body temp in hot weather. Now sorry, but he means more to me than you and your comfort do, so my genny will run so he stays comfortable and alive. Now if thats inconsiderate then tuff. The road to I give f--k is the other way. I suggest you take it.
I consider myself a considerate person within means, but the more people i run into on forums and on the road the more i realise there are just as many *******s out there as there are in home life such as Dorian was grumping about. Living on the road does not fix all your problems. It just gives you the freedom to move if you dont like your neighbourghs at camp. I suggest more of you do that, and less complaining and causing trouble. MOVE.


Now im going to find my bucket.
