Winter Storage with Full Tank Of Gas or Not?
Do you store your RV with a full tank of gas (to cut down on condensation in the gas tank), or fill it up with fresh gas in the Spring? Thanks for your responses

I have seen gas go bad in a month, but here in Texas, it is warmer so stuff reacts faster, and lighter parts of the fuel evaporate faster. When I store a vehicle, I dump some Star-tron in the tank after filling it up. I do the same with a generator, although I prefer to store a generator with it completely empty these days than keeping it filled up and fuel stabilizer added.
Vehicle engines are not as finicky due to the larger amounts of fuel used, EFI, and decent fuel filters, but there is the generator as well, which needs good fuel or else the carb will have issues.
What I've thought about, once I get a vehicle with a built in Onan... is adding a fuel petcock in line with its fuel input. That way, I can turn that off, and run the line dry. That way, the gasoline sitting in the tank doesn't have to be as pristine as it would have to be for the generator.
