We've had our 77 Kingsley for about a year and a half and every electrical connection we come across or add gets a coating of dielectric grease. Thanks to Ken Burton and others we clean and shine every one and coat them. Bob Burkitt clued us in to welding cable (fine braided copper and extremely flexible) and that's what we used to redo our battery compartment and all cables running to our replaced generator. We used closed end battery cable connectors and crimped and soldered all of them.

We did run into a couple electrical connections where the steel screws had welded themselves to the aluminum ground. We could not get them off so we coated them with dielectric grease and left well enough alone. We use Tef-Gel, anti-seize, and dielectric grease on everything. We use stainless steel whenever and wherever we can. So far so good.

We don't carry dielectric grease but maybe we'll throw some in the coach toolbox just because.
