[quote title=
Seems to me, stuff lasts longer when it is used, if for no other reason
that faults are detected and corrected earlier rather than later. I've
determined to take my coach out once a month, if at all possible, for a
drive around the area of at least 50 miles. I have not been doing that, and
it is part of the reason I'm now correcting many items of my own neglect.
That 600 miles a year isn't going to wear it out, but it will keep the fuel
recycled and minimize the formation of corrosion in moving parts. It will
heat up the engine enough to boil off condensation. Yes, I will run the
generator or after that exercise. I'm betting that the relatively frequent
use will do more good than the increased possibility of varnish building up
in the carb. Finally, it will remind me that the coach works, and can be
used any time, which we sometimes forget and allow ourselves to get nervous.

Seems to make sense to me. I am thinking about trying to do the same thing.
