Inverter Bonding Neutral to Ground
Here's a picture of how a Kisae 2000W inverter's GFCI outlet is wired. The neutral side is not bonded to socket ground other than through a capacitor, as is the hot side. I guess the caps have som...

I don't think there is any pass-through with this inverter so it can be bonded all the time.
What is the issue?
Exactly. This a simple inverter only.
No transfer switch, no pass-thru.
The simplest scenarios is that when using the inverter I just plug the trailer's 120VAC input cord into it via an adapter. And When plugged into shore power I obviously unplug the input cord from the inverter and plug it into shore power. I don't see any problem when plugged into shore power.
It's the bonding between Neutral and Ground via the chassis when using the Inverter that I was wondering about.
My current 1000W inverter is not bonded and works fine.
From what RoyB and others are saying bonding is not a problem (and maybe it's a feature?).
(In reality I do use a transfer switch.)
