Open Neutral and Fridge says A
EDIT--sorry , I screwed up the OP at first, saying ground instead of neutral. ----------- New one on me. First time on shore power after a long time on inverter with fridge on gas. Fridge said A ...

One person says "The Honda gen does not have a "floating" neutral.",
and another says "mine says "neutral floating" on the 120v",
and you're both correct! The neutral can't be floating because there is no neutral on a 2-wire AC circuit, but the Honda and other generators do say it's floating. I've just about given up fighting this battle. Trying to tell almost anybody that their 30 amp RV doesn't have a neutral is like trying to swim up a waterfall. When I feel the need to be technically accurate (or if I'm cranky) I sometimes use "white wire" and "black wire", but most of the time I just give in. If only the generator manufacturers would say "Floating Output".
