You don't want to remove the starter unless you absolutely have to. It's not that it's a conceptually complicated job, it's just that the starter is completely inaccessible without removing the top cover from the generator, which generally means removing the generator from the RV. This, in turn, usually means disconnecting all the wiring (and the AC connections are rather deeply buried), the fuel line, and manhandling things with a floor jack or similar.
If you do have to remove the generator by dropping it down, measure the clearance under the side of the RV before you start and see if you might want to jack the RV or put it on ramps or something. It's not very much fun to try to work on a generator that's dropped but still imprisoned under the RV.
Don't ask me how I know this.
