Hmmm, I‘m certain that I’ve been reading that, for connecting to shore power at least, chassis does get connected to shore ground.
The important distinction here is the part in bold: "the chassis of an
isolated (from earth) vehicle electrical system," when I talk about a vehicle Isolated from earth ground, I'm talking about a vehicle without shorepower (or not plugged into shorepower)
I’ve also read that neutral does not get bonded to ground in/on the RV.
This statement applies
when connected to shorepower.
Or possibly a more correct way to think of it is: Neutral should be bonded to ground in 1 place only.
Since neutral and ground are bonded on the shore side of a shorepower connection, any onboard neutral ground bonds would need to be disconnected when shorepower is connected, but when not using shorepower, an onboard neutral ground bond would be used. An inverter/charger meant for mobile/marine installs often handles this for you (look for UL 458)
As to generators, I find them to be confusing and I have never used one (or planned to) so my knowledge is less than limited.

In part due to my prodding (sorry
), @filtgerguy took the lead on the substantial task of writing a
series of primers on grounding (they build on each other, part 4 is mobile specifc). I highly suggest checking them out if you have a chance.
@RandyP I /We would value your input on the mobile section if you have any. You are more familiar with the RVIA/LV than most here, I don't know how well that covers grounding, but neither of us had a copy to reference. So if there are relevant tidbits, it would be good to know.
