Below the main meter there is a fused disconnect. Two hots going through cartridge fuses, and one neutral going through just lugs, before going down and out to the main house.

A bare copper wire goes from the neutral plate (?), out the box, and then splits at a connector, with one line going down the utility pole to the ground (terminating on a grounding rod) and the other line going up the pole to this:

I am going to have the neutral and hots connected to NEW mechanical lugs, then out a hole drilled into the bottom of the disconnect box. They go about 230' to this meter socket:

From the meter socket they go a couple of feet to this panel:

So, what would you do with the green wire that is at the disconnect, and why? Right now it goes through the ground bar in the socket and into the RV panel, but is not connected in that panel.
