Run the generator as long as you need power or have fuel no problems there. My thoughts on 800+ miles a day is going to take 16 to 18 hours in/or pulling a RV.
Where do you get 18 hours?? Other than stopping for fuel (maybe 15-20minutes added to trip) I don't see where ya got 16-18hrs from? 800miles divided by 62mph is 12.9 so with the added stop for fuel I'm gettin around 13.2ish hours. Correct me if I'm wrong tho, don't want to be getting into something I don't know about.
Driving and or pulling a camper / RV is much different than operating a car or truck. A avg will be 50 mph. You wil probably get 8 or 9 mpg, resulting in more time at the pumps, and more time getting into and out of the gas stations.
If the generator has been maintained, running it that amount of time should be no issue. I would check the oil about every 8 hours or so.
Enjoy your trip, drive safely !
