What would make the overload light come on on my GenSet???

I have an little Sportsman GEN1000i genny and yes it was inexpensive and not the Honda. It is under a month old and has been powering my Lance 3000 shore power flawlessly until today. The "Overload"...

On a normal electrical system like in your house, the neutral and ground are tied together in the electrical service panel.
On many gensets, they are not connected together. This becomes an issue on some electrical systems with electronic components. By tying the neutral and ground together, the system sees this and operates differently.
Do Not do this in the rig!
I believe the OP is talking about the system monitoring panel which includes tank levels and batter levels.
