Outlaw question about secondary fuel tank

We have a 2021 Outlaw Toy Hauer. Is it safe to use the onboard fuel dispenser to pump gasoline from the secondary tank to the primary motorhome tank? Is there any chance of static and a possible spark? I know there is a ground strap to connect to any vehicle (motorcycle, atv, etc..) but what are the dangers, if any, pumping from one tank to the other on the motorhome?

I have a full tank in the secondary and want to use that fuel before it ages.

Should be no worse than filling at the station. Make sure the rig is grounded.

Does that mean I should connect the supplied ground lead at the fuel dispenser to a ground rod driven into the earth?

RVs aren't grounded at gas stations.

Should be fine just pumping the gas tank to tank.

It is suggested to touch a part of a vehicle away from the fuel fill area to discharge any static electricity before removing the fill cap. The most dangerous thing I see all the time at gas stations is people getting back in the car while filling, then getting out and touching the filler or nozzle. These same people will curse you for using a cell phone at the pump although there has never been a documented case of a cell phone causing a fire while fueling.
