I own lots of stuff that has to be winterized, and we have some tough winters in Montana. I never start stored vehicles (motor home, motorcycles, riding mower)until the weather relents in about April. I use Seafoam as a stabilizer, fill the fuel tank, and apply a smart charger every 4 to 6 weeks. The smart charger is used on the coach and chassis batteries in place, and is easy to connect via the charge selection solenoid on the engine firewall.....one side of the solenoid for the chassis, the other side of the solenoid for the coach.
In my opinion, starting any vehicle and just letting it idle for 15-30 minutes does more harm than good. You're loading the exhaust system with moisture that isn't eliminated by just idling.
