I would run a separate ground. It is only a little bit of #12 wire anyway.

Well, if I follow directions, it's supposed to be about about 3 feet of at least #0 wire to get to the nearest frame member.....better if 1/0 or 2/0. With terminals. So it gets to be a pain in the behind to source, crimp and route....
Granted, for 120v AC, it would only be #12.....
What inverter calls for that size wire for the chassis ground? Xantrex calls for #8 on their 3kw models (minimum of 4/0 for battery cables).
