My impression is that we should probably always bond ground/neutral on our portable generators when using them to power our RVs. There's always lots of conversation about EMS systems requiring it.
yes, AFAIK ALL EMS systems will detect an open ground/neutral bond and usually not allow power to the trailer. Now depending on the EMS unit, one either needs a bonding plug, or for some units, just bypass the EMS when using a generator. My EMS unit has a switch to bypass. Usually I just plug in the bonding plug.
if you don't have an EMS, non issue. But it has caught many a new generator user trying to power a trailer with an EMS unit.
