Sure. Just turn the valve off in case critters decide to gnaw on any flexible pipes.

We keep our propane full in Indiana. Also the fuel tank with 5 cans of Sea Foam added. After treating the fuel tank I run the genny for about an hour to get the Sea Foam into the Onan float bowl.

NO issues with storing in cold weather (above -40F)

From the Amerigas website.
Storing Propane Outdoors

Storing propane tanks outdoors is perfectly safe, but it's best to choose a spot that's away from your home. When storing your propane tanks in the winter, it's important to know that freezing temperatures aren't a problem for propane—in fact, you don’t even need to cover your tank when storing it outdoors in the winter.

Place the tank on a sturdy surface, like a piece of wood or slab of concrete, and store it uncovered or covered.

Storing propane tanks in the summer is easy, too. In warm weather your propane tank can still be stored outdoors on a flat, solid surface. You'll want to keep the tank in a shaded area so that it's not in direct sunlight for long periods of time—this will keep the tank at a safe temperature, note exceeding 120 °F (49 °C).
It's important to follow these precautions—even if your propane tank isn't full—to ensure safe and proper use of your cylinder.

Your propane tank should never be stored in, or subject to, temperatures above 120 °F (49 °C) Keep your tank above −40 °F (−40 °C) in the colder months Avoid storing your tank in direct sunlight Never store your tank on its side or upside down Always ensure that the gas valve is in the OFF position when storing your tank Never store your propane tank inside your home or vehicle

I use StaBil (Marine) 1 ounce per 10 gallons of fuel. Much cheaper and works well to
*neutralizes the water that the ethanol attracts.
*Cleans the fuel system
*Keeps fuel fresh for up to 12 months
