setting five months run the engine or not?
We're setting in the South for five months and a discussion came up as to whether to run the engine once a month or not.. I was allows told not to unless you could go out on the road and run for 20 mi...

The instructions with our generator said to run it monthly for 20 minutes at about half maximum load. I found that once every 6 weeks worked just fine.
I used to take our RV out for about a 20-minute run every six weeks also, running the generator at the same time. I didn't have any problems with the chassis engine, even though I left it sitting for about 4 months after cardiac surgery. The generator never ran again after that down-time and it was INOP when we sold the rig.
