Off Grid Camper (no Hookup) - Earth Connection?

My van is a completely off grid T6. I have solar, Lithium battery and a 2kw Victron inverter. I don’t have a mains hookup, don’t need it.

Question is what do I do with the earth from the Victron inverter? I guess nothing, as I’m not hooked up to the grid so it is now redundant?

Any advice much appreciated

You will still need to earth it, although i could be wrong.

I haven't read the Victron manual for your model, they have quite a few models, but i know i had to with my larger Votronic Inverter, i used 4mm2 Earth cable and made an isolated earth mount for it as per the manual.

It should be in the manual somewhere with diagrams for isolated systems.
 
That is a reference to floating neutral. With the link in place, the earth and neutral are at the same potential. If you then connect the ground (unit) to the chassis then the vehicle body is ground.
