Inverter Problem

I just purchased a 3500 Watt Inverter Generator to use while dry camping. When connecting it to my Progressive EMS-PT50X Surge Protector I get the code for an Open Ground and the unit will not energize my RV. The instructions for the Inverter say to connect the ground lug to a grounding rod driven into the Earth for proper grounding. This weekend we were parked on blacktop with no way to connect to ground as stated above.

Is there any easy way to remedy this situation? Can I just connect the RV to the Inverter, bypassing the surge protector? Any help is much appreciated!
