Wouldn't the RV be 'somewhat' grounded via the stabilizing arms or (in the case of a travel trailer) the 'landing gear'? Granted they're just sitting on top of the ground as opposed to a rod pounded into the ground. And my only concern is when I'm using the generator anyway, not plugged in. I always plug my 'circuit tester' thingie into the plug-in in a campsite before plugging my trailer in, just to be sure everything is as it should be.
As an aside here, when I switched from my old 1700 watt inverter to a new Cobra 2500 watt unit, I suddenly got an "open neutral" reading at my outlets. I called Cobra and they said that's the way their units are wired. I've had two of them (because the first one failed in the first 10 minutes) and they both showed the open neutral.
