On a motor home you have two engines, Main and Generator
Run the generator 1/2 hour under 1/2 load (use space heaters in the winter 3 of them set on low (if they have low/med/hi use 3 on MED) you want around 2500-3000 watts for a 5500 watt genny) for and plugged into different circuits should be good or 4.
NOTE: outlets may be on same circuit, you will need to check (Different circuit breakers)
And the main engine, That is much better at sitting, Get the oil changed just before you put it to bed.. if you can do a full mothball, but if that is not practical just get the oil changed.
