The violation of the bill of materials is for the roadtrek installed inverter. It was tested with and should have been built with 10 gauge wire. 18 is both a code and delivery error.

external bonding picture

I just noticed your bonding arrow. The 6-gauge bonding wire was terminated with a 1/4" lug (good). It was held to the pictured non-conductive surface (bad) with a 8-23 screw (not good).
