Now the grounding side. Grounds that deteriorate over time are a challenge for all okder vehicles and ours are no exception. To ensure a good ground so that full voltage will be seen by the various electical units, a new ground post was added by drilling into the top of the frame, tapping it and then screwing in a stud (it will be welded to the frame later). I then attached another 12 guage line to the stud and ran that lead inside the coach to an accessible location. |
Here you see a grounding block attached to the inside of the kitchen cabinet between two doors. Very accessible. The bottom wire is the 12 guage lead from the new grounding post. The others are the individual grounding lines from each unit that is attached to the fuse block. This system results in a direct, unshared positive and negative lead for each electrical unit. Individual, fused circuits for each electrical unit ensure proper performance and easy trouble shooting if needed. ... and the refrigerator is working great! | | |
