We took delivery with just over 3,000 miles of our "gently" used unit. Dealer had automatically changed oil/filter on engine plus the same on the generator, which had 28 or 29 hours on it. With the low miles you are talking about they may not feel the need to do it yet.

I'm getting ready for another change at 6,400. There are two maintenance schedules in most of these owners manuals, one being for severe driving conditions. Since we always are towing, but only less than 2,000 pounds I stay somewhere in between the schedules for oil changes.

This second one I am doing a little sooner, but after this I will be changing between 5,000 and 7,000 miles using synthetic.

I think everyone has to make up their own schedule and it should be based on the owner's manual suggestions.
