Start MH periodically?

While staying in one place for an extended period of time (5 months) in our Precept Class A, should I start the engine periodically even when plugged to shore power for the entire period??

I let mine run for about 20 mins once a month and also keep chassis battery on a tender.

Prolly a good idea to start it every couple of weeks anyway.
My truck sits in a heated garage for the winter. Honestly, I haven't started it since I put it away on 11/12. This thing called work is a real inconvenience and hunting season takes up the rest of my time for now. BUT, when I get the chance here soon,. roads dry and salt free, I'll get a fire lit in it and take it for a couple laps around the hood. Get the engine warmed up good, trans warmed up a little, keep the moving parts moving and the tires from getting flat spots too bad.

Huntin season seems to put everything on the back burner doesn't it. We have a 120+ tall tree that fell during a storm 2 months ago laying across the backyard and on top of our chain link fence.
