Thus moisture/condensation can get in there and begin to corrode things. Running the generator long enough for it to get hot will evaporate all that moisture in there...

FOr these reasons I run the gen and a/c at least 1 hour a month. Plus it charges the batteries. My mh is in the driveway so its easy to do. I turn both on then go about my business. When I remember I turn it off.
Gens want to be run. Not running them will cause problems down the road
