Was going to give mine a run during our 6 hr black out here on Monday but won't be here, you may not use it very much but they sure give you peace of mind...........I run my 2 genny's for about 30 mins each month or so, just put a cup of fuel in and fire them up usually running the shed till they run out of fuel, that way they work when you need them.
Hoping to be at Stand Down Park about 20 mins fromTin Can from this Sunday for a few days while we check out some properties in the area, generally escape the clean up routine of selling house..........might even find something, haven't checked the tides but fish an chips at Rainbow will be on the cards.
Very good advice, we also have a book in the van so we can record when we did it. It's surprising how you forget
We use a fuel stabiliser additive in ours to stop the fuel going off.
Try to give them a periodical run as well.
Nothing worse than needing it and it won't start.

Never bothered with fuel stabiliser, mainly as fuel doesn't stay in the can long enough, gets used regularly and the genny's for the most part are stowed empty.
If not using fuel very often then I would use it but only keep a 5lt can at most not 20 odd lts as I do now.

I gave my Honda 2kva a run with the Truma the other day and handled it fine, even ran on eco mode but was not a stinking hot day. Quite a relief after it failed to run the Heron in the 17-56-1.
That's great news for me as I will be trying it next weekend. After I have the van

A Honda purring away in the distance is preferable than some DH and his doof doof....................mind you a noisy old 2 stroke can set me off.
Agree doof doof and two stroke gennys grrrrr thats why i spent the money and got a relativly quite genny sort of figured paid for all these goodies may as well use them all though am aware of other campers
RESPECT
If you have it your not alone. If you don't F off
Simple camping rule I have.

Used our 2kva for the first time also, ran the air con no issues whatsoever.
It didn't get close to full revs either.
Very glad we chose the 2kva due to weight, size and our requirements, any bigger would be a waste for us.
