I have seen different things, should I ground both AC and DC systems to chassie? Or just the AC, or just the DC, Or neither?

Thanks

DC yes. AC NO! Get a professional electrician to do the job. Fire not good.

Damn - finally I know what's wrong - why my laser won't fire at 5 million volts

Ground yes, bonded neutral no. -12vdc, meh. In a past life I was a boat rigger so I always run dedicated + & - but that's me.

Here is the progress. Of course the crapper will be out in the privacy enclosure outside.


I insulated the corners and installed plastic flashing from lowes. Soon I will be adding color changing LED strips to top of the trim should provide good lighting.

Got LEDs in today. hope to have them installed next weekend.

Here is an example of them.

Took the cargo on a trip to MD. Pulled good, got 12.5 MPG. Hopefully this summer i will get my roof rack and wind deflector done and it will up my MPG.

Anyone got a good way to keep this thing clean? I get bad streaks on it. thought about applying some wax, what do y'all think.

The black streaks are from the roof. You can purchase a bottle or gallon of streak b gone and it practically just wipes off with that stuff. It's made for cargo trailers and RV's
