Before you do anything at all, you should check your owner’s manual for some useful advice on maintaining your own generator. Little and often is a good motto when it comes to maintaining an RV generator. Roughly once a month you should be looking to run it on a fair-sized load for a period of an hour or more. You should check the oil levels on a regular basis.
Many of the generators which we have discussed come with an LED screen to tell you about vital statistics such as when the oil needs replacing. The engine oil, filter and air cleaner need to be changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. And if all else fails and you are not certain in what you are doing, you should contact the customer support team rather than risking causing any damage.
