done it also. I think it is more than fair to say it costs a minimum
of $6 per hour to start the generator. I have read several posts
complaining about the cost of a $30-$50 per night at the local KOA,
so its fair to say on average, running the genset is more expensive
than using someones services for 8 hours. That nightly campground
rate can be reduced by 50% with a little study. In any case, running
the generator is two to four times more expensive than utilizing a
park for the same period..and you don't have to look at the backside
of a lot lizard, but I do agree you have to discuss the bus with the
new neighbor. I just bring a beer and a cigar. I light the cigar and
give them the beer. They don't stay long. lol
