Grounding question

I'm working on my first diy system and I'm looking to check info that signature solar gave me when they sold me my system.

My setup is
Tiny house on wheels (pre wired) > 50a inlet > eg4 6000xp + eg4 indoor wall mount 14.3kwh lifepo4 battery (both of these are in a separate shed)> 18 400w panels

I was told by SS to ground the individual panels to a grounding rod and by default to not ground the inverter and battery "unless I wanted to".

Other sources Ive seen have recommended that the inverter and battery be grounded as well. I did read the 4 part guide often shared on here but I'm still a little unclear on how to apply in this case. I'm also unsure if I need to do anything special with the house as I bought it second hand. I've been plugging it into an RV outlet at someone's house without issue. I imagine it's already grounded to it's metal trailer but I am not sure.

Does it get below 32*F where you are?

just confirm that the N and G (white and green/bare respectively) are not bonded in the entrance panel

read the full manual for the AIO and see what the instructions from the manufacturer indicate. Do that.

I'll take a look at it again. And yes, it does get cold. Gonna put a little heater in there or use the wood stove that's already there. Not super convenient but it should hopefully work
