Is It OK To Run My Motorhomes Engine When It Is Hooked Up To Electric?

by Elaine

Will it hurt anything if I run the engine on my Motorhome every week while it is hooked up to a 30 amp electric connection?

ANSWER: Greetings Elaine thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

It is perfectly safe to run your Motorhome’s engine when the Motorhome is hooked up to electricity at an RV park or your house.

The only time you will experience a problem is if you try to drive the Motorhome with it still hooked up to electricity unless you have a real long extension cord ;-)
