Perm. Mtd. Generator Receptacle for Battery Charger and Heater

[pstubb]

I have a permanent mounted generator it has a battery charger with a 120 volt 20 amp dedicated circuit.

In discussion with a cohort he decided not to install a ground wire with the 120 volt circuit feeding the receptacle and instead bond the ground to the generator frame, so not to have a neutral ground bond.
could this possibly be a NEC violation?

Yes it is.
