...the difference in a residential circuit and an RV circuit...
Exactly. And it's this difference that causes confusion to a few people, IMHO. If they were both wired the same, then all the same rules and codes should apply. But they're not.
Even though an RV can be it's own power source with a battery and inverter and possibly a generator, it can also be (and most usually is) plugged into an electrical outlet that is fed from a Main SEP somewhere that is required to (and most usually does) meet NEC code. Which means that an RV being used under normal conditions needs to be treated like an appliance when it comes to being safely wired (i.e., neutral not bonded to ground).
