Power Generator review - My Daily RV Life - Today I check on my Power Generator. You should test your generator a few times a year, every three to four months. When you turn it on, you should let it run for 10-20 minutes to get all the parts moving and oiled up. You can also conduct no-load testing on a weekly or monthly basis, and load testing at least monthly or quarterly. You can also check the fuel tank level and oil tank level. Depending on how often the generator is used and how well it's maintained, portable generators have a life expectancy of 10,000 to 25,000 hours, and built-in generators have a life expectancy of between 15,000 and 20,000 hours. You should place a generator at least 15 feet away from an RV. You should also consider the following: Air space: Most generators need at least five feet of air space on all sides Carbon monoxide: Generators emit carbon monoxide, so you should install a CO detector Windows: You should place the generator at least 10 feet away
