Yes, the ground is not bonded to the neutral on most generators. You can do 2 different things #1 flip the bypass switch on the monitor to bypass position. #2 or do what I do "take a 15 amp 3 prong plug and put a jumper in it from the ground pin to the neutral pin and plug the jumpered plug into the 20 amp receptacle.
Bob's first suggestion of flipping the switch on the monitor is the best. By making a plug that ties neutral to ground you are connecting all of the steel frame work in your camper to the neutral on the generator without the benefit of an earth ground. Personally, I don't want a 60 volt potential neutral connected to my camper frame when powering from a generator. Remember, a portable generator has no true earth ground.
