Expanding AC distribution panel
I'm looking at options for expanding the AC dist. on a Parallax 6300 dist. panel.

There are two ways to measure ground continuity.. I am assuming you used a common multimeter.. This will show count unity or near continuity to ground on any lead that has a load. Like the water heater. Fridge, Air conditioner (If hot enough) Furnace (If cold enough) any light that is turned on and much more.
A better tool is a TEST LIGHT.. this is an Ice pick looking thing with a light bulb in the handle. in this case you clip the clip on the HOT wire (RED) and then touch each formerly fused wire.. IF the light is very bright and nothing else indicates it has power you likely have a ground.. (But read on)
IF it lights dim you should find someting somewhere that either thinks it hs power or complains "Low voltage" Like the LP alarm Fridge or such.
Lights (if incandascent) will light itfairly bright LED's dim but the light may be bright.
Now Grounds.. There may be no grounds connected to that board.. Rare in an RV but possible..
OH. when you IDENTIFY a wire.. LABEL IT .. Adheasive tape and a marks a lot work or bread ties. or a P-Touch with wire label tape.
