Gas tank question

When your motorhome sits for a couple months (in Florida) do you fill up your gas tank before or wait til it's time to leave. Spouse thinks it should be full to have less condensation in the tank. Yes or no?

Full of gas to prevent breathing with heat expansion and pulling in condensation.

Pure gas for long storage and even StaBil or other product.

Several threads on this that confirm why.

Full is always best. Is it a gasser or a diesel?

If it is a gasser and sitting sitting for months, best to add a fuel stabilizer or better yet ethonal free fuel.

Full as I do with all gas powered vehicles or equipment. Add a stabilizer too, I personally use seafoam, not a only a stabilizer but a system cleaner too.

And it makes leaving a bit easier, one less thing to do.
