EMS with Generator

New to the 2021 FR3 30DS. Do I need to hook up my Southwire EMS to the 50amp plug if I run the Generator?

The EMS can be used with a generator. A bonded neutral generator is recommended.
Your onboard generator bonds the neutral when its running.
If your generator is not neutral grounded, you can find articles on multiple websites detailing ways to properly bond a generator.

Not to change the topic, but how is your new 30DS? Any major issues?

Be very careful if they have not changed the location and lack of left slant for viewing the rear camera. On my 2019 I must completely take my eyes off the road to view my tow. That is dangerous!!!
