Can I run my Onan while plugged into shore power?
My new to me 5th wheel has an Onan 5500 generator. Can I exercise the Onan while being plugged into shore power at home?

You can run it, but it won't actually exercise it since there won't be any load.
You're better off disconnecting from shore power first.
Maybe some are set up that way, but mine isn't. If I have my 5er plugged into shore power and the generator running, the generator is the default source of power.
That said, there is no reason to have the trailer plugged in when the generator is running.
