In a motorhome setting with the vehicle insulated from 'true earth' by rubber tyres, does the RCD in a 240vac distrubution board still trip if either the live or neutral cables make contact with the van metal, when there is no true earth, only grounded to the vehicle chassis? On developing the fault, would the current not simply travel through the chassis back up the inverter casing earth lead , or would the RCD still detect the leak to the vehicle chassis and trip. Thought i had all this sussed, but an electrician i spoke to says that i must have a ground spike and earth soaked with water in order for the RCD to trip. My inverter is a Victron multiplus 24/3000/70-16
