12V wiring Aluminum Cargo Trailer conversion
Been searching for days and haven't found a clear answer on whether or not a 12V system should be grounded to the chassis of a 100% aluminum framed enclosed trailer. Am I better running negative wires...

Bonding is a basic saftey practice. A very small AC leak to a ungrounded RV can cause a significant shock. Typically these leaks do not trip a CB and can exist even if the CB is tripped - I could be before the CB or it can occur from the negative AC lead.
A little extra wire and connections diverts this current/voltage back to the shore panel via the AC ground wire. This is a basic safety requirement and replaced 2 wire plugs many years ago with 3 wire plugs.
