I bought one a few years ago and have never needed it. I’ll fill up my gas can though

If you haven’t used it in a few years it most likely wont start. I think some carburetor/fuel line cleaner will do the trick. Not a mechanic.

I run in this all the time, people don't use the generator in their RV for extended periods of time. The Onan generators do not like to sit

Luckily I live in an very old neighborhood with a lot of trees so my power goes out frequently.

I prioritize flow (return pump) over temperature if a choice has to be made. For the last big storm, my 180 got down to 62 degrees over a couple of days and my losses were minimal. Several years before that, I used an inverter on my car like others have mentioned. Not fun, but it's does work if that's the option you have. Stay safe everyone!
