Agree... so if the RV is considered a 'subpanel' - it should not have neutral and ground bonded...
But when running onboard genny - does the genny then do that bonding? or the transfer switch? otherwise ground and neutral would be isolated...
(There are both bonded neutral and floating neutral generators)
And if the genny does - and I connect to house - I then have 2 bonded locations...
Doing some quick research - this appears to only be an issue if the genny outlet is GFCI - as it will trip detecting the 'ground loop'.. and that should not be the case here... The only RV on-board GFCI is the bathroom outlet (controlling kitchen and outside outlets.)
My head is starting to hurt...
I'll do some more research and open up some manuals and panels on the RV to see what I find.
And I thought the hardest part would be routing wire and cutting a hole in the side of the RV...
