Al,
Wish someone would build a garage like yours on the east side of Tyler. All of the storage facilities are on the opposite side of town. It takes 20 – 30 minutes to get to them from where I live. Looked at having storage garages built in 2012, but it was going to take 6.5 years to get a return on my investment.
You have a nice storage garage and offer a great service.

Many of our coaches are equipped with chassis battery chargers as well as chassis battery boost systems like stated above.
I had this happen to me recently when parked at a campground for a while. Hit the Gen to charge house batteries then use the jump system to start the coach. If you have access to shore power you should be able to charge the chassis batteries that way as well. It takes a bit of time to charge them but it worked for me.
Your chassis battery charger should keep them charged up when stored or parked.
I have purchased batteries in the past that came to me bad or no good so it is possible to have new batteries that are no good.
Good luck.

My experience is that 25 to 60 hot (not cold) is normal. And I would feel safe with manufacturer recommendations. If I saw pressures below 15 to 20 psi on a cold generator engine, or a significant change in pressure that wouldn’t be explained by outside conditions, then I would be concerned. I mainly worry about the sensor and gauge, first.
Keep in mind that oil pressure is design specific. By that I mean that engine manufacturers, and intended engine use, vary. For example, Italian engines for decades tended to run very low (to Americans anyway) oil pressures, and were used to having those customers call up or show up in a panic. Additionally, race-modified engines will have oil passages enlarged and chamfered at the ends, often with bearings selected for upper limit clearances to help prevent seizures. There will be assured flow in such an engine, but less pressure unless the pump is changed or modified; Then we have oil pump types and systems (i.e., dry sump) that will change the basis as well.
My two cents, free.
