Used to be the "recommendation" was to keep the field windings from de-magnetizing. Honestly can anyone who is adamant about this relate an actual experience where the windings needed re-magnetized or corrosion kept the generator from operating properly?
I haven't seen a de-magnetized RV generator in years, but I cleaned the corrosion buildup off a pair of Onan 7000 slip rings for a fellow just last month because it wouldn't keep running when he let go of the start button. The generator hadn't been run in 4-5 months.
