Frank:   Are you referring to AC ground {green wire} or AC neutral 
{white wire}?

In my installation the battery negative is connected via a green wire to 
the trailer frame.  The battery negative is also connected to the DC 
distribution panel via a #4 black wire.    From the DC to AC inverter, 
the AC ground terminal is connected to the trailer frame and the AC 
neutral goes to the AC power distribution panel neutral buss bar just as 
a residential home.  In effect the AC neutral is not connected to the 
trailer frame.
