The generator plug you're talking about, is that the generator that came with the motorhome, or one you (or someone else) added?

It might be two separate 120V feeds, but they are in-phase, not out-of-phase as needed to produce 240V. That's the way our 7 kW generator is wired in our 50A motorhome.
Just a thought to double check to make sure of your generator output voltage.
I think not having a ground is a bad idea.
