heres the final reply I got from the maufacturer.. I went ahead and connected the ground wire...
Yes, we are referring to the residential breaker box. However, since your RV's breaker panel box neutral and ground are not bonded together, you can plug the breaker panel box directly to the AC outlet on the inverter (as already setup and shown in your picture). Your setup appears good.

Subject: Re: Neutral ground bond
Hi customer support...
OK I got my inverter in and I just want to verify your statement about lifting the ground wire.
I know you stated incompatibility when connecting to a breaker box, but are you referring to a residential breaker box that has the ground/neutral bonded?
Just for reference I am plugging my RV into your inverter. RV breaker box's are not bonded. The grounds and neutrals are separate in any and all travel trailers.
With this new info does lifting the ground wire still apply?
Just a note:
The inverter works both ways. With the ground lifted and without the ground lifted.
I attached a pic of my set up. The ext cord I have plugged into the inverter goes through the floor and I installed a travel trailer 30 amp outlet under the trailer to plug in my travel trailer. In this plug is where I can lift the ground or not lift the ground.
I just want to be safe and make sure im doing the right thing with the ground wire..
Thanks for you help,
Mike L NJ.
