Remove your panel cover and have a look inside. They have separate ground bars. The grounds are bonded to the frame of the RV.
yes look inside the back of the fuse box, you will find that the white wires are connected to a common bus bar that is attached to the metal case of the fuse box, and a separate buss bar for the grounds, that is also connected to the case too..
