I would 100% be of the opinion that any breaker should live on the EHU side, due to the isolation of the Delta.
However, it screws with my (puny) mind as to how the protection then works on the isolated system that would reside after the Delta. Bear in mind that on a campsite the bollard will have its own protection, so you will be well protected with EHU breaker (part if the campsite supply) with an additional breaker on the input side of your van.
So...... after the Delta...... earth leakage protection? How will that work? (Just interested!)
lol . . .
this is one of those mind bending questions that keeps me awake at night.
its also the same question about do i Bond my Inverter NEG to the chassis of the van . . ?

according to Mr Victron . . . there is no chance of getting a Live/Earth sock from an isolated mains supply as there is no return path to the source.
so its the opinion that a floating Live/Netral double isolated feed is safe in the van with no earth connection.

but an earth connection/bonding IS needed in the van is it is plugged into a EHU post as it will be earth referenced and there is a direct route back to the soursce.

im not man enough to test the theory, nor am i a sparks - this is just what i have learned.

Inverter/charger is charger and feed through mode When the inverter is connected to AC power the AC input relay is closed and at the same time the earth relay is open. The AC output system relies on the AC power supply to provide the neutral to earth link. This link is needed so the RCD in the AC output circuit is operational.

7.5 Mobile installations A mobile installation is an installation that operates independently from the grid. When it connects to AC power it usually connects to the grid at different locations and/or generators. For example, like boats, vehicles or mobile back-up power systems. In this chapter a boat installation is used, however, this information can be used for any mobile installation. A mobile system does not have an earth stake. So, something else in its place is needed to create a central earth potential. All touchable metal parts of the boat or vehicle must be connected to each other to create a local earth. Examples of metal parts in a boat or vehicle are: chassis, hull, metal fluid pipes, railing, engine, power point earth contacts, lightning conductors and the earth plate (if present). A mobile system typically connects to a variety of power sources it is sometimes not clear which of the leads in the shore power supply is connected to earth or if earth is connected at all. Also phase and neutral may have not been wired correctly. Connecting a supply like this to a mobile system can potentially create a short circuit to earth. Or earth is missing completely. It also matters if the mobile system connects to power or if it is disconnected from power and running autonomously

Floating network in boat or vehicle (IT Network) In mobile system where an inverter (or generator) is the only power source one can specifically choose not to use a TT network but to use an IT network. In an IT network the phase and neutral are not coupled to another potential like earth. The voltages created by the independent power source are floating. A system like this is very safe and simple to install. If a conductor or housing in this system is touched by a person, no current can flow to earth. Remember, for current to flow a complete circuit is needed. In this system the earthing conductor is absent and the electric circuit to earth is not complete. This is a similar situation as the safety transformer in a bathroom.
