This is not true.. When you plug into the park pedistal, they are bonded, your RV is considered a "Sub Panel" I know exactly where mine is bonded 7 sites west of me (where the main panel is).
However it is true that when you are not plugged into a properly wired outlet,, Yes, then they are not bonded. This often includes both Generator and inverter power.. They may or may not (usually not) be bonded. My inverter is bonded if inverting. Not if Generator is in use.
But the RV is a "Sub" panel off the park main, and it's the park main where the bonding happens.
You should re-read what the this person said. You are telling him what he said is not true and in doing so, you have added to his confusion. He referred to the panel in his RV as his "main" panel. And that is true, for his RV. However, as far as National Electrical Code is concerned, his "main" panel is actually a "sub-panel" and it is NOT bonded in the panel. What you say is correct, in that the neutral and the ground in the RV are bonded together in the main panel of the campground.
