The bottom line is ground (earth) must only be bonded to neutral in the shore power breaker box when the Rv is powered from shore power. Dangerously, hymer/Rt uses 18-gauge wire for the ground...

The inverter disconnects shore power hot and neutral until the inverter has 12vdv and is turned on. Therefore the gfci will not trip when the inverter is off.

One of the major reasons for the ground wire is to carry current away from the vehicle when a plugged-in appliance fails and its hot wire touches its metal case (e.g., refrigerator, AC, Truma). When...

We shouldn't use Hymer's unsafe logic. They break the requirement for 10-gauge wire then claim 18-gauge is good enough. They install the over-pressure safety relief valve in violation of safety...

Requested updated wiring diagram

Apparently Hymer now concedes the 30-amp service is solely grounded (earthed) through an 18-gauge wire! There's even a suggestion the 18-gauge wire might fuse during a short thus leaving the RV...
