GMCers,

I recently discovered that if I touched my bogie greasers when I had the coach plugged-in I would get an electrical shock. I was clueless how I was remedy this problem. Last night I started searching the and went to the Eastern State’s Clubs website and checked there tech documents for any info. I found a document Ken Burton wrote for the Fall Eastern States Rally back in 2009 titled "Grounding in a GMC Motorhome". After reading it the first thing I did was to check where the 110 breaker box was grounded. It was grounded to the steel frame. Ken’s document said this is a no, no. I reattached it to the aluminum frame and no more shocking problem. When I tested my plug-ins before I changed the wiring with a LED tester it told me I had an open ground. Now all the plug-in read correctly.

My coach is a 1978 Royale by Coachmen. The incorrect wiring ground I found looked like it was original. You may want to test your plug-ins with a LED tester and see if you get the proper reading.

Thank you so much for the very informative document Ken.
