In Winter Storage, Should I Run Engine?
The MH is currently sitting at RV campgrounds with both battery disconnects on. I was told by previous owner he would start his occasionally during storage. I thought this isn't good unless you drive ...

One more opinion to NOT start it and let it just idle.
NOBODY has said to start it and just let it run for "a few minutes".
I said let it run until it gets up to operating temperature......both the chassis engine and the generator.
You are the second person who has said that idling is bad......without specifying how or why.
In fact, I think "don't touch it" is a fully acceptable option.
So is running until hot; engine speed while doing that is inconsequential.
Running for just a few minutes likely won't even recover the battery energy used to start it......and there are other undesirable effects too. That's why nobody is suggesting that.
