In the states, a portable generator that supplies ONLY equipment mounted on the generator and/or cord and plug-connected equipment THROUGH RECEPTACLES MOUNTED ON THE GENERATOR do not require bonding to a grounding electrode.
Honda makes quite good gasoline motors. I doubt it is a valve timing issue but it might be a burned valve or a valve adjustment issue. What does after a while mean? A couple of minutes or 4 hours? Is it running for just a short while and then stops or it runs well for a long time and then stops?
Is your generator wired in to an automatic switchover in the motorhome, or do you have external plug in on face of generator, or near it. The power from the generator needs to be attached one way or another to the motorhome. It may be as simple as plugging the cord from motorhome into it, depending on what set-up you have.
If you have good spark, clean air filter (replace anyways), try choking it half way or so. If it runs better, then it is running too lean, probably a clogged orifice or jet in the carb. If choking it makes it run worse, then it is likely running too rich. Could be a float problem, or metering tube that is clogged and isn't spraying.
make sure gen isnt stopt on protection
overtemperature or oil level or coolant level.
try to bridge protections one by one to find the course.
first make sure all fluids are on level and coolers are clean.
fanbelt tension and coolantthermostat can also be wrong.

i have had my generator for 6 years. i use fuel stabilizer and do as you did in shutting it down. I do not drain my fuel but it doesnt hurt. I would question putting anything in the engine that could in time cause problems. I use synthetic oil, this should coat all internal parts well enough to not need extra oil. I do start the engine a few times a year and let it run 5 mins. or so. I live in SW La so having a generator that doesnt work during hurricane season is not a good idea. The steps you are taking should keep your engine fine. It is a good idea to run it and use the power every now and then. This keeps the magnets in the generator in good shape.
