can i keep my gas tank filled all winter
With fuel Prices going down ($2.75 for regular here in Rhode Island) and knowing that they are sure to go up by springtime, is there any reason I can't fill up my MH now and keep close to a full tank ...

Ramble quoted the correct source. RED for Storage. I don't think he's on this forum, but I met "Joe from NC" on a few state park visits, and he was using RED every fillup. I asked, "Even when you're just going to drive all day?" And Joe said "Yep." I've started doing that. When I'm paying $100 to the card reader for the gas, why not another $5 for stabilizer. I never know when I'm going to get stuck not being able to use the RV. Let alone the GENERATOR!
I mention Joe because I coveted how well his ONAN MicroLite 4000 started and ran. That was when he told me about StaBil RED.
OP - I don't know what your storage site and plan are, but be sure you stabilized the gas that will remain IN your GenSet. The coach would probably be OK after sitting all winter on a full tank of non-stabilized fuel. GenSet? Almost assuredly NOT.
We have a few local gas stations, all GATE, I believe, that sell unleaded Regular. The real treat would be Marine ValvTect, Unleaded 89 with One-Year stabilizer. It runs our boat well, but it's on-water fuel and therefore expensive. I lug a can to the marina for our small engines and they mentioned that a good share of their business comes walking down the dock with cans.
