The only time you will not have an earth ground is when you are boondocking. This is when you might NEED that ground rod.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.But if you were to connect the Generator frame to a 8 foot ground rod in the ground,so it would be grounded like the electric service panel ground,that should make it OK to bond the neutral & ground together at the generator,right????
I know it would be a PITA to drive a 8ft ground rod everywhere you go,but if someone was gonna leave the genny stationary,like for home backup power it could be feasible.
