I have used plastic place mats from WM (cheap) to put beneath my tires when storing for more than a month, just need a barrier.
Run the gen under load, a couple of 1500 amp ceramic heaters will do for a start, for an hour or so once a month. Onan says two hours at half load.
When I stored longer term (we full time now) I would take it out for a "fun run" every so often, at least 30 minutes at highway speeds to be sure everything is warmed through and no condensate is left in the exhaust system. That was with my gasser. Would do the same with my DP. Once started run it or don;t start it at all.
If you are covering it, you may be best to not start the engine at all, but do find a way to run the gen, I use first of the month as my reminder.
