Winterizing my Tellaro 20L

I just winterized my rig last week. Have it stored inside (unheated) but have shore power connected to keep the batteries charged. Anyway, I'm wondering if adding stabilizer to the gas (tank is full) is a good idea? I was planning on starting it every 2 to 3 weeks. Thoughts / suggestions?

I've read where people use marine Stabil (blue) which allegedly combats ethanol. I just winterized the other day, and planning to top off the gas tank... then add the marine Stabil. It's supposedly more concentrated than the red...also more $$$.

Use the red Sta-bil and fill your tank to the very top to minimize water accumulation. It’ll last a year or more. We didn’t use our mopeds much this year so they still have Sta-bio treated gas from 2020 and they both start on the first kick and run fine. It is important to drive the coach every month or so , in my opinion, and not just start it. It helps keep the transmission, differential and wheel bearings lubed and happy. I try to pick a nice day and go 20-30 miles while also running the generator and a space heater. Cheers
