We finally got our duel fuel (gas/LP) portable generator. The instructions state that the generator needs to be grounded when used. I know many of you have posted that you leave the generator in the trailer or the back of the truck. So, do you ground the generator and if so how?
Thanks

I have never even thought about it. The generator in million dollar motor homes are not grounded, I am interested in hearing other opinions.

Or do they mean grounded to the trailer chassis?

If the unit permanently mount in a trailer or coach it needs to be grounded to the chassis. If the unit is portable it should be grounded to a ground rod. Most people don't bother grounding portable units.
