First on the genny set up.

It must be bonded!

I assume you distro main is unbonded as well.

Left unbonded you do not have a fault path from the EGC back to the source. This is dangerous and an NEC violation.

Without the bonding you might as well leave the equipment grounding conductors unconnected!

Second, should you be making your own distribution rig and opening panel covers at the venues to tie it in hot??

In my state you would need an electrical license to be installing equipment into panels.

Cam-locs are fine when used in trained hands.

The NEC does have rules about the use of these devices.

520.53(K) Single-Pole Separable Connectors. Where single-pole portable cable connectors are used, they shall be listed and of the locking type. Sections 400.10, 406.6, and 406.7 shall not apply to listed single-pole separable connectors and single-conductor cable assemblies utilizing listed single-pole separable connectors. Where paralleled sets of current-carrying, single-pole separable connectors are provided as input devices, they shall be prominently labeled with a warning indicating the presence of internal parallel connections. The use of single-pole separable connectors shall comply with at least one of the following conditions:

(1)Connection and disconnection of connectors are only possible where the supply connectors are interlocked to the source and it is not possible to connect or disconnect connectors when the supply is energized.

(2)Line connectors are of the listed sequential-interlocking type so that load connectors shall be connected in the following sequence:

a.Equipment grounding conductor connection

b.Grounded circuit conductor connection, if provided

c.Ungrounded conductor connection, and that disconnection shall be in the reverse order

(3)A caution notice shall be provided adjacent to the line connectors indicating that plug connection shall be in the following order:

a.Equipment grounding conductor connectors

b.Grounded circuit conductor connectors, if provided

c.Ungrounded conductor connectors, and that disconnection shall be in the reverse order
