Open ground detected

Searched the forum and was surprised I didn't find anything on this topic. We are taking our TT on our first boondocking adventure next week and wanted to test out our new Champion inverter/ generator. Got it running, plugged in TT and my PI (hard wired) EMS tripped with an open ground error. In the past I've hooked up my TT to my old generator without grounding it and the EMS didn't detect and issues but it's also a big metal frame unit with metal legs on the ground. Before I go buy grounding rod I was just wondering if other people with inverter/generators normally ground them, like manual says you should ;). Thanks!

Awesome, thanks!

Normal for most generators to be open ground. The ground is always bonded at the source such as at the panel for your house or the campground pedestal. You can make a bonded plug to use on your generator.
