Did you decide to bring the RV or the truck? If the RV how are you hauling the genny?
The genny is portable. It travels in the storage compartment.

Ya...i am always accused of overthinking....but never of being unprepared. Thanks for the fire advice.

Id like to bring the RV, (maybe ill find a "west or bust" burner whos driven a rig over the Divide.) Goin it alone in that thing first time over the mountains was suppose to be a friend thing, but my traveling buddy now cant go. Now im trying not to have to cancel myself. Iv only driven on flat terrain.

Seriously, no worries. BM is rather loud most nights. 53 db is NOTHING.

Funny bit: last year a campmate and I needed to have a discussion about infrastructure ideas, and our campmates were making noise... so we retired to the corner of the camp and SAT ON THE HONDAS for peace and quiet.
Thanks! I wont worry now! I kinda wondered how loud BM was that generators would even be heard, but apparently not as loud as i expected
