eb6500 Honda. to travel trailer

I have a nephew that wants to use my eb6500 Honda generator in back of his truck. For trailer air conditioner My question is about grounding.
Should generator be on a rubber mate in back of the truck ?
Are all travel trailer unbonded like motorhomes? Should he use the 3 prong 30 amp to RV adapter. Or the 4 prong so he has GFI but only one leg ? It's the first time using the eb 6500 like this any pointers would be great ..he's got little kids so we want it hooked up as safe as we can .. thanks for any input .

Just hope he never uses it in the same county as me, 6kw open frame, that's going to be unbelievably loud.

*edit*
73dB @23', good luck sleeping anywhere close to that!

Ditto.

I've never seen anyone ground a portable generator.
