Dave,
I am with Bill and Ann on this one, I think you might be more well served to find a campground and have Cheryl drive to work.
Not sure that boondocking is the best way to initiate yourselves in this sport. It takes a bit of getting used to. (Have done it, and it is DOABLE, but different, no semi-flaming Carol is allowed here
)
After the first 24 hours of generator running full time, you will know if it is doable for you or not.
Course, we have never had a quiet generator, you can hear ours out in the pole barn (over 100 foot away), when it is on the opposite side of the pole barn, and we are on the opposite side of the house). It is wonderful to have heat or a/c when the power is out, but that thing sure gets annoying on the noise factor. You will have to run the generator if you want cooling, tv (unless you have one of those invertor thingys), microwave, hairdryer, fan(s), etc.
Keep us posted!!!
