Welding on frame vs. electronics
I'm thinking no big deal... Then again, some of the goofy transistor stuff inside of radios and converters and the fridge, and hundreds of amps surging in places where they aren't normally supposed...

I do not weld with electrical/electronic equipment connected...
One error. your fault or NOT.. its DEAD.... all of it...
have you ever seen a lightning strike ... to electronic equipment... burnt toast...
read what happens when 220 volts is wired to a 50 amp RV service...
I know a person that did that to a NEW Georgetown....
The general point is reasonable (and valid), but all properly wired 50A RV service is 120/240 split phase service or, pretty rarely, two phases of a 120/208 three phase Y service. The problems usually arise from wiring 30A RV service to 240V rather than the proper 120V.
Welding generally involves comparatively low voltages and quite high currents. Problems, as I understand it, are more commonly due to induced currents in nearby conductors rather than zapping with high voltages.
