If we need to "exercise" a generator to make sure it is still working, what other RV appliances should we exercise? Do we need to operate the stove, refrigerator, microwave, furnace, water heater and/or AC monthly?
I like this idea a lot.
If we were to "exercise" the entire RV - Say 2~300 miles and a full over night at least once a month, then you could be very sure that it was ready when you want it to be. For those of us in the north, that means winterizing the potable system monthly, oil changes more often and driving over salted roads many more times than I like.
Small problem, that would have added close to 600 hours on the generator by now.
Maybe I'll stick with putting her to bed for the winter. Doing a proper fog job and disconnecting all the batteries.
