You should be careful when using solid copper Romex in RV wiring. The constant vibration can cause panel connecting screws and wire nuts to loosen causing high resistance connections that can generate heat. I've seen wire nuts back completely off the wires in RVs and boats.

Don't understand what you're saying about the use of romex, the entire coach is wired with solid copper. The main 6/4 feed is stranded. Any wire nuts were taped from the factory. As for the ground making contact, its next to impossible to happen, could it sure, anything could happen.
I'm a little lost too. Every wire in my panel was "hard wired" from the factory and when I did the upgrade in me TT, I installed the ground bar on the opposite side as the neutral bar. After seeing how these RV's are wired from the factory, it wasn't hard to do a better job than the factory did. The way the wall outlets are put together is as cheesy as it gets.
