For gen techs
I'm running my 50A rv service with a Honda EU6500 connected to the 30A 240V receptacle. Everything works fine. My question is, would long term durability be improved if I switched to the110V only sett...

I don't think it would make a big difference in your case in terms of durability. I would suggest using the 240V setting
. (In theory, it could be possible to work better with an unbalanced load where one leg is more heavily loaded than the other with proper wiring of a cordset combining the two 120V outputs from the two twist-lock connectors when running in 120V mode, but errors in making or using such a cord could be problematic or even dangerous and I think the gains would be minimal in practice.)
This is my line of thought. Currently with the 15k AC running and the gen in 240V mode on leg is running at around 75% of max load. With 0 on the other. It would seem to me, going to the 110V mode would bridge the two outputs and run at around 50% with less wear and tear on the windings in the long term.
