Mine warms up without a load, takes about ten to fifteen minutes. At least enough for the oil pressure to drop. The shutters will never open unless there is a load on it.

I run 15W-40 in mine. If you suspect the valve is stuck you can try running some Marvel Mystery oil in the crankcase. Add per directions and it may just free up the valve nd save you a lot of work. I am not a big fan of additives but I have seen MMO work enough times to know that it will work...

Looking at that picture again I see that the generator head is towards the tongue and it also looks like the engine is ahead of the axle as well with only the control unit on the back side of the axle. If that is the case you probably could mount a fairly large tank on the back. Problem is that...

You have room front and back, why don't you think about two tanks but have them plumbed together so that they empty at the same rate and therefore keep the load balanced. All it would take is a 1/4 inch line between the two tanks and that would even out the level but not allow a rapid transfer...
