It currently has 42 hours on it. I changed the oil and air filter at 25-hours, as per the owner's manual. The rest has been running it for 20-30 minutes under load every month or so, just to exercise it.
I'm getting ready to go full timing next month and want to make sure everything operates properly before I leave.
Many thanks!

Make sure you prime the generator's fuel system before you try to start the generator. About 20 seconds if the generator is in the rear of the coach and 45 seconds if it is in the front of the coach. When you press the start rocker to prime, the red light will come on showing the fuel pump is running (start switch on the generator has no light).
