That being said I have had zero issues with mine over the last 4 year though we only have about 73 hours on it. At least 66 per cent of your time in the rig is off the grid but with our two Grp 27 batteries we just don't have much need to run the genny. It usually gets run more for exercise than any real need for power.
There is a local Generic dealer here in Tucson that provides parts and service. I do however buy fuel, oil and air filters two at a time so that I will always have a spare no matter where we travel. Like just about anything else with proper maintenance you should expect no problems.
