Best advice is to turn it off overnight. If you don't open the refrigerator, everything will be fine for at least 8 hours.
Oil level needs to be checked at least daily.
Run the fridge on propane, so you don't have to shut the fridge down at night.
But as long as the generator isn't being ran at max output, this is near ideal operation for getting maximum hours out of the generator. Engine is warm and plenty of oil throughout the engine.
I would check the oil once or twice a day...assuming no signs of leaks and call it good.
Probably the bigger issue is the fuel bill running 24/7 will get pricey real quick with that big of a generator (assuming the $1/gal gas doesn't stick around)
How long do they expect to do this? A week or two, in a heart beat. 6 months...this would get old and expect to wear out the generator.
