Did a trailer awhile back & should have posted this issue then.
Finished work & did a walk through to check everything over. Something wasn't right, couldn't put my finger on it. Finally noticed the pull out disconnect for water heater was non metallic & we had piped EMT to it, with MC cable out. Label warned to ground racewaysrather than fool with grounding bushings in a tight space, I put up a new metal disconnect. Why even make the nonmetallic variety when a metal one is only about $12 to start with? Not a huge issue but I appreciate any extra forethought from manufacturers on these things.
