Need advice re: monthly exercise...

This question is in regard to an '05 Itasca on Ford gas chassis. When not in use, I perform the following monthly exercises: 1. Check tire pressure, 2. Drive for about 20 miles at highway speed, 3. Run the generator one-half hour at 50% load, 4. Activate the sat. dish, 5. Run hyd. levelers down and up once, 6. Extend and retract slide outs, 7. check rear view camera. Am I missing anything? Should the refrigerator be run for several hours? Will appreciate any advice./ Larry

    I'm in high humidity area.. not sure if it matters or not, but my RV guy told me to run my gen an hour a week.

    I don't remember to do it, but that's what he said to do.

    You are probably doing more than about 95 percent of all RV owners right now. In your high humidity area I'd probably run that generator a lot longer. When our humidity here is down around 10 percent for months I don't worry about running the gen at all.
