The 21KW Kohler on my 506 is crazy simple and fast starting. I merely engage the momentary toggle switch on the power panel and it lights off instantly. My Onan on the 44 went through what seemed like 30 seconds of preheating no matter what the ambient temperature. The only thing I really do before using the genny is to make sure all of the AC systems are switched off and then load the genny one circuit at a time after the genny has had a few minutes to warm up and stabilize.
I also shed the loads before shutting down just as a best practice. Not sure if it really makes a tangible difference.
