If you are going to sit for months at a time, I would recommend a fifth wheel. You are not supposed to just start up a diesel engine and let it idle. If you want to exercise the engine, you need to get it up to operating temperature and roll the tires. A 30 mile trip will work. If you cannot get the tires rolling, do not start it up.
