The chassis ground should be to the RV frame. Simple and direct.
Not to the battery or the negative 12v input.
The instructions are following NEC.
Why? I'm trying to understand in what types of failures an 8 AWG wire from the inverter chassis to the vehicle chassis is useful.
Lets say that the wire to the inverter shorted to the chassis, and did not trip the circuit breaker. You could touch the inverter case, and the metal in the RV or be on wet grass, and then get shocked.
Why question the installation over a couple of feet of #8 wire?
#8 wire it not that expensive, and it will complete your installation, make it safe, ect.
