Normal
Just remember that there are two kinds of generators. The "real" kind like is installed on most RV's will last the longest if you take Bruce's advice. Sitting for months allow bad things to happen. Still 3000 trouble free hours is pretty good. If it's one of the cheap portable gen sets it will die long before 3000 hours no matter what you do. You will be lucky to see 500 hours no matter what you do.
