All I can offer is my limited knowledge after having used ours for two years now. It should be "exercised" once a month during the winter with a load applied. The manual recommends about an hour a month. There is no winterization needed. It can run for extended periods of time provided it has fuel and oil, if it is propane, it will suck a little over a gallon an hour. A 30 pound tank has about 7 gallons and a 40 pound tank has about 9 gallons, so run-time is limited. I would not advise leaving it on when you leave the site. We do not have an exhaust extension but have experienced the need for one and are looking at the "Venturi" type exhaust system that clamps to the side of the rig to get the exhaust above the rig's roof for the wind to disperse it. One thing about winter is they can be subject to dying dependent on the outside temperature due to the vaporization process of the propane. Hope this helps and I am sure more seasoned users will chime in if I am off-base on anything.

Thanks for your information. Im not sure about exercising the ONAN during the winter because it is covered, and they put the switch in a cabinet up front that I cant reach with side outs closed. Sounds like a bad situation! Where did they put the switch in your model year?
