We have a 2020 Gulf Stream BT Cruiser 5240 with an Onan QG4000, Model 4KY-26100R generator. This model has a pull down murphy-bed located in the front. The generator is located directly under the bed. When we are camping without electric hookup and need to run the A/C or heater, the generator needs to be running and between the noise and vibration from the generator it is pretty hard to sleep. Has anyone been bothered by this same thing and were you able to come up with a solution to help lower the noise/vibration?

You shouldn't need to run the generator for heat. The furnace should be used for that and the battery should get you through at least a night, if not a weekend.
For AC once the rooftop is on the generator noise should be less annoying. I would also be concerned with CO poisoning. I would try adding a Gen-Turi exhaust extension. This will get both the fumes and exhaust noise up and over the roof.
