Can I run the motorhome off a portable generator? I tried to plug it into my Yamaha 2000watt just to run fridge and lights but it doesn't get power into the coach.

Question: Do you have any kind of power protection like a Surge Guard such as a Progressive Industries HW 30 or 50 or the equivlent Southwire/TRC Surge Guard?
If so you need a bonding plug on the yahama.. This is a plug with NEUTRAL and Ground connected. (I did it in my 30 amp plug when I needed one) to make the Surge Guard happy.
WHY: Ground is NOT CONNECTED on the generator. Not needed save for getting power past the surge guard.
