RV Pedestal question

[LowSparkHighHealed]

I have two RV pedestals looped to save wire/voltage drop. They have lugs intended for this and even the ground bar has two set screws for this. I have a sense that I can't legally do this with the ground however and that I must pigtail this in some fashion. The conductors used are a 2-2-2 (ramapol?) aluminum and the ground wire provided is a 6 gauge al. May I continue the ground to the next pedestal using this ground bar or do I need to provide a pigtail and splice this? If a pigtail what type of spicing hardware would I use on a #6 aluminum wire?

The ground bar is a splice. What would a pigtail and another splice accomplish?

Use the ground bar.

......Equipment grounding conductors shall be sized in accordance with 250.122 and shall be permitted to be spliced by listed means.......

Thanks, I will give it a try and see if it passes. I ask the question because many of the RV junction boxes by the same manufacturer actually come with a flying lead pigtail attached to their ground bar while providing multiple lug connections for the hots and neutral, plus I am used to the required pigtailing to avoid interrupting the ground and neutral paths when a device is removed from the circuit.

I think you are thinking of neutrals on multiwire branch circuits, where the branch breakers don't all have a common handle.

I assume your pedestals are all fed from a 3 pole breaker that shuts off all the phases at the same time. So you don't have the same issue you would have with a multwire.
