Not sure why Old-Biscuit brought up a G-N bonding plug as it has nothing to do with powering your trailer with a genset or even two paralleled gensets. It only becomes a problem for those protecting their rig with an EMS which will interpret the floating neutral output of an inverter genset as an open ground and refuse to pass power to the trailer. Using a bonding plug on the genset output solves this, however without an EMS in the circuit your trailer will power just fine from your Yamaha gensets which do have a floating neutral output. As for earth grounding your genset(s) when powering your RV, not necessary.
