Ever sleep in a camper van or something where a machine runs constantly throughout the night?

Camper vans come equipped with generators I understand?

You power them up outside and they run on gasoline.

And you sleep in the same square meter as the fridge freezer.

So there's two sound emitting devices.

I'm sure there a few summer vacationers that spent a few months in one of these or its equivalent.

Did you lose much sleep?

No gasoline here, only pitrl.

U turn the jenny off before you go to sleep. I slept in a house where the fridge was quite noisy so I sold it on DoneDeal and bought a quieter one

I've slept in a tent with an electric cool box and a small blow heater running and it didn't keep me awake.

I've also slept in a tent where the guy in the pitch across from me was snoring and that did keep me awake.

My wife has slept in a tent where I'm snoring next to her and that kept her awake. I had a great sleep tho.

At a serviced campsite you plug into the electric power provided.

Or do this

Even if you're not on a campsite, you have leisure batteries to run the base load that would be required through the night, no need for a generator through the night ever. A generator would typically only be used for a short period to charge the batteries or to run a high power appliance. Very few campers bother with generators at all these days, solar panels keep the batteries charged.

As for the fridge, absorption fridges that are typical in campers don't have a motor/compressor so don't make a typical fridge noise.

That's the technical answer I'll leave it at that.
