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.

On a just completed cross country trip with only one night of shore-power, a small well-aimed USB fan made a difference.

To keep the trailer cool, you have to park in the shade.
Wait a few months, It works in reverse in the winter... ; )
