Starting my generator in my class C without
So they tell you to take the house batteries out and keep them on a trickle charger instead of keeping the whole class c plugged in all winter, but now I have a problem with starting my generator it ...

Yes you might seem to think that Starting it will do more harm than good but Onan recommends it and so many other people say that the Onan generators will fail if you do not start them. it's called exercising it so on one hand I do agree with you but I read so much extensively about the Onan generators that's why I feel the need to start it once a month.
As far as all the other winterizing engines I just use the fuel stabilizer in all of them and they start great in the spring.
Yes, I should have mentioned that I DO start the generator a couple of times during winter storage and put a load on it. I do the same with my 7KW home generator. However, that is a different beast than the chassis engine. The generator engine has a very short exhaust system and no catalytic converter.
