Perhaps I was not clear enough on the grounding /ground pin.
I only presented two viewpoints, I am not supporting either one. Only presenting, I sit firmly atop the fence on this one.
As for the floating neutral in the sub panel..... NO, it does not float, it is bonded to ground... You just can not see the bond looking, as you are, at the sub panel.
Why is this,, Think about what "SUB" means, (it means it is off the MAIN panel and that is where they did the bonding of course)
However..... IT MIGHT FLOAT (in an RV) if you are running off the generator or inverter.
