Is one of your tie down tabs grounded?
Or is this a Bigfoot thing?
In my attempts to stop rust progression, I've landed here. New marine style properly sized terminals with stainless screws should help, but I'm not sure I see the purpose. Since the ground wires only connect to the left front tab, it would seem like the purpose is to bond the camper to the truck. This, of course, relies on tie down hardware that was never really meant for electrical bonding to complete the circuit. SS Fastguns, Qwik-loads, spring loads, and Torklift pinned extensions all seem questionable to me. And then there are people like be who purposely insulate the extensions with heat shrink.
Does your camper have these grounds? Is there an RVIA requirement? The negative connection on 7-pin effectively bonds the camper to the truck already. Thanks.
Yep it is a Bigfoot thing. Not sure but I believe that the - Negative and the elect shore ground are bonded there as elsewhere in the campers. The fridge - Negative and the elect 120 ground is bonded in the fridge.
