I checked out the info on hot skin, thanks. That info was all about shore power and pedestals.
I am now wondering about any danger when on inverter whole house with shore power plugged into the inverter (converter off) I still have my Surge Guard in the shore cord line when on inverter. I have it on the bitter end of the shore cord where it goes to the AC panel instead of using it out at the plug end (had to swap around the surge guard ends, but it still works the same.)
A variation on that--what about if the shore cord plug going into the inverter's receptacle has no ground prong ? (30/15 adapter and ground prong missing, eg) (The cord's ground wire is still grounded to the frame by the Main breaker, but---)
This is one of the explanations and he also has some videos.
