Try using your coach air conditioners when driving rather than your engine (dash) air or in a colder climate, run your heat pumps. While it is important to regularly use your engine air conditioner to keep the seals lubricated and performing, using your coach air conditioners or heat pump will provide good climate control and it will force you to exercise the generator under load—easily accomplished when traveling. With the generator running, you will also be able to run the refrigerator on AC rather than LP gas. If you have a new RV, exercising (running under load) the generator is required to maintain the warranty.
