Neutral to Frame vs Floating Neutral Question
Been discussed here a few times, but can't remember the difference if any. Onan here has neutral bonded to frame and it is for RV use. https://www.usedvictoria.com/ReportSelectUsedAdPhoto2?use...

When you use a portable gen, the shore power cord is plugged into the gen's receptacle and it is floating neutral. OK.
If you plug into a pedestal, the pedestal is from a bonded source, so the RV 120 looks right on a three-light tester in an RV receptacle. OK.
Now this is where I get really confused--- you go on RV installed Onan generator and it is bonded to its own frame, not the RV's ?
So how does the RV EMS get the idea the RV is plugged into a bonded source? I saw that about the shore power/gen transfer switch, but I got lost.
