Our 2005 RV's Onan has a real convenient altitude adjustment knob just behind it's removable side cover ... which is light years ahead of having to mess with changing jets like has to be done with portable generators. I've never had to adjust this, though, as it has always started right up at any altitude we've used it at (so far not above around 8500 ft.).
We haven't camped yet in weather under 35 degrees, but our Onan has always started up in a second or two. I use only synthetic oil in it and the last few years I have used an E3 spark plug in it - so maybe these two things have helped it to start under all conditions (knock on wood!). I do exercise it about once a month while in storage between trips.
