Today I was finally able to get the time to replace the power
converter -not the original buzz box, with the PD9270 70 amp
Converter charger. When I disconnected the old box I found that the
"ground" wire was only connected to the negative side of the output.
It did not sit right with me so after reading more instructions- yes
I really do read instructions, I put in a new ground wire. My problem
is according to the instructions that came with the PD9270, it should
be grounded to the RV frame. Since this is my first time digging
around electrically in my coach, I converted the ground wire (12
gauge) I stripped out of some old romex I had and grounded the PD9270
to the electrical box grounding bar, which as far as I can see is
grounded quite well to a lot of other "things". The question is, is
it safe or do I have to find a true connection to the frame?
Yes I am sure I should start digging around to find out what wires go
where and what is grounded where and to what, but everything works
and I really am a little leery of messing with things that work-well
so far.
Hope some of you electrical geniuses might shed some light on this
for me.
Thanks
