There you go....separate ground rods not connected. That has the potential for problems right there.

Actually that is wrong. You are confusing RF grounds, which the dipole does not need, with safety ground which is provided by the third wire in the AC power cord. The whole grounding issue is much more important when running portable generators than on commercial AC power.
