Just no air conditioning solution the isn't noisy

I squandered another few hours reading all about Generator soundproofing and running the A/C in the T@B 400, there is just no good fix. At a place like AMA Vintage Days at Mid-Ohio the noise will be a non-issue in a huge non-stop 2 and 4 stroke moto-woodstock, just run the genny. (the WEN 2350w I picked up does run the cool cat)
I tested it today and got the trailer pretty cool, but it heats up again pretty quick after shut down.
Watched a bunch of vids on soundproofing that showed limited results at best.
It will be nice to have the genny for power outages at home and such, but I cant see running it much when camping unless I used it to power the lithium 10amp charger clamped to the battery, but jeez if we are that low on DC volts it would still take a long long time to raise the SOC.
Confirms what I kinda knew, keep up as long as you can with solar suitcase and enjoy the heat. Or camp with hookups.

    Yep, running a generator is a major love - hate situation.
    In the hot months I seek out electrical hook-up sites.
    The few times I've used a generator were at boondocking sites so no neighbors to disturb.

    I only try to use the generator at boondock sites where we’re spread out. I know the more powerful inverter generators won’t be as loud as the smaller ones (I have a Westinghouse 2400) under load.

    I've slept in a tent for a Mid-Ohio Indycar weekend or two-many years prior to owning a Tab. Yes, late to bed, early to rise whether you wanted to or not.
    On a just completed cross country trip with only one night of shore-power, a small well-aimed USB fan made a difference.

    Yep, definitely noisy.  We have the quietest rated one on the market.  But it is a necessity for us Florida travelers, except in winter.

    The outside ceiling is aluminum which absorbs heat from sunlight. The frame is also aluminum to help conduct heat to the interior. Add a solar panel, which heats up while operating.

    To keep the trailer cool, you have to park in the shade.

    Wait a few months, It works in reverse in the winter... ; )
