Winterizing our generator
I will be leaving my Tioga in Michigan this winter and will not have anyone to run my generator for 5 months. How can I best winterize my generator which runs on the motorhomes regular gas.

After treating the tank with SeaFoam/Sta-Bil/your choice of stabilizer, run through the genny for a little while and then cut off the fuel and let the genny run until it dies. This will get the fuel out of the carb, thus preventing any varnish build up. After cool down, pull the spark plug(s) and spray with fogging oil.
Very common practice with outboard motors.
