    What exactly do you mean by "bonded" ? In Rvs the main dist panel for the 120v breakers is not bonded. The shore power source panel the pedestal receptacles are on is the bonded one.

    So your sub-panel from the inverter needs to be carefully defined as to what you are doing.

    "boned"???

    Or did you mean "bonded"??

    If you mean bonded, then the answer is no!! NEC specifies a "sub panel" is to have isolated neutral bus bar, carried back to the main panel.
