The Onan school also taught the design life of the gas generator was ten thousand hours. So use an enjoy.

When it is hotter than Hadies in August,,, you have little choice but to run the Generator to run the A/C to keep.. well as cool as possible.

I would not worry about running it too much, The ONAN generators are designed to run run run for long and I mean LONG periods of time, 10-16 hours a day is not uncommon in some installs for those puppies.

In fact, The concern you should have is not running it enough

Run it at least 1/2 hour under 1/2 load the first of every month.
