Just to be clear, this is the neutral bus bar, not the ground bus bar. You do NOT want electrical connectivity between it and the power center chassis. Doing so would introduce a ground fault and not be code compliant...and, in the event of a neutral fault or a reverse wired pedestal with a poor ground connection, could easily lead to a dangerous hot skin condition on the RV.
Good catch, just a typing brain fardt... I will correct my post...
Think the objective statement was correct, just the naming of the buss bar...
Thanks,
