Do you exercise your generator in the winter?
How many of you exercise your generator monthly during the winter? Obviously this only applies to those who have to winterize and store your unit... I bought my first RV right at the end of the se...

Well it isn't only Onan that wants the generator exercised regularly. I use to be the Operations Manager of a big data center and we had 7 huge Cat engine ran generators. Each one came on semi low boy trailer. Then they were mounted on concrete platforms and that was their new home. They were enclosed and you would open the doors and walk right into the area where all of the mechanicals were at. There were 2 doors on it, one towards the front and one towards the rear. These were used for backup power. We also had a huge load box that could be hooked to any of the generators. These generators were fired up and ran once every week. Ever one of them without fail. If they weren't then my Building Supervisor would let me know of the problem and also call in repair to get them fixed. We had a maintenance agreement with a local company that within 2 hours of us calling them they would have a repairmen on site to fix it.
