I agree. I'd also say that the 18 gauge safety ground in the inverter isn't correct for the inverter's 17.4 amp output

The manual is not correct. I posted a picture of the shore power ground being hard wired to the 18 guage wire. 18 gauge is too small as a safety ground for 30 amp shore power. Do you agree?

Shore cable ground lugs? Buss bars? Autobond? I wish these words applied to the Hymer/ecotrek shore power design.

The words in the manual attached to an earlier post has nice words but the reality is as I've discribed. Perhaps Hymer will give Aktiv and ECO-TREK owers a new Magnum:-)

I've attached the manual that someone from hymer posted. Please keep in mind that the grounds are hardwired at the input terminal. The manual incorrectly says ground is managed.

I totally agree with using GFI. The Aktiv GFI is only on Owner accessible outlets. So all other 29 amp shorts to chassis will be seeking a ground back to the campsite. The 18 gauge wire could fuse...
