professor95,
I feel like the little kid in the classroom, saying, teacher, teacher, I get it. Well I'm still that little boy in your class room. This floating ground thing being a BIG problem. The circuit. I don't want to be caught in it's path from my HM to the GROUND. You have put more than the fear of God into me. Ok, let's review. The genset has a circuit of it's own. Independent of a common ground. Thus, the floating ground. Ok, techno' guys I'm Old and Slow. I see that ground bolt on my genny, ok. I just purely thought that was dumb, my genny is placed on the factory genset tray. I felt that was enough grounding to the frame. So the question of using this little ground bolt on my genny remains unused. It's now a question, where to jumper a ground from the genny ground bolt to the frame. I'll figure that out soon.
Now I have the fear of causing a short circuit with my body in the path of this energy from my little genny. The floating ground thing. This whole entire RV is a power house all of it's one. Just floating in space, or I'm I missing something?. This is quite different than a genny placed in another location. Now this GFI thing. There is a real difference of thought as to it's real importance. The one in the Shore power circuit. One saying, well, it no big deal. Not all that important. I'm caught in the middle. I guess I should go spend some cash and give it to Outdoor World. I hate the thought. Someone add their thought. Sorry, guys. Some of us earthlings came slightly slow in the beginning.
