With respect to the AC output, there are two types of MSW inverters. One type has a true floating output and can be bonded if you wish. Higher end MSW inverters tend to be of this type. The other type of output, common in lower-end MSW inverters, was described in DrewE's earlier post. Both output conductors are hot with respect to chassis ground. What happens when you bond either output depends on whether the inverter has output short circuit protection or not. If it has short circuit protection it simply will stop working. If it doesn't have the protection, it will instantly go up in smoke. Verified (accidentally) by personal experience.
