I'm not sure why you'd need the ground to go to the other side; just find a good ground on the ground side of the RV. Maybe I'm missing something (perhaps needing a lower impedance ground than the chassis provides for the inverter).
What you post at the top is not quite balanced, as it turns out, but only pretty close. See http://www.smartgauge.co.uk/batt_con.html for a more thorough explanation, and (at the end) this nifty approach:
If you draw a horizontal line separating the four batteries shown you will see the positive needs to be connected on one set and the ground on the other set. If he uses existing conditions both + & - will be on same side.
