The connector in the engine bay was identified by others in this forum. There may be multiple issuesAgain, I'm speaking from a position of ignorance here because I still have at least six weeks to wait on my truck coming in, but my thought would be that the issue is on the downstream end of things...from the inverter back to the bed. (Why would 120V be routed to the engine bay?) This is where the greatest likelihood of water intrusion will be, creating the leakage fault. (if that ends up being the root cause) I ordered the 7.2Kw and if I have this issue, I will start with the PPO panel in the bed and work my way backwards from there until I find connectors that I find suspect. We might even find that some of the plastic used (soy-based?) is the culprit, so I would look to isolate/protect anything that could get wet backwards from the panel.
Techs that have the skills to work on a ground fault issue like this are making bigger bucks in the medical electronics industry, and are not dumping oil at the local dealer. I think it's within the collective skills of this group to figure it out.
