The camper on my truck is isolated from the frame. it rides on fat rubber bushings to provide some flex for the frame. I'm pretty sure i want a ground to frame connection for my camper electrical system, and I'm looking for a good way to do this. This isn't a new problem with all the composite habitat boxes out there, but I'm not finding much online.
I have some ideas:
1. Ground the aluminum frame of the camper to the truck frame using a ground strap. Ground the camper electrical system to the camper frame.
I like this option, as it is easiest to keep the camper sealed as-is.
2. Run a bolt through the camper to a ground strap connected to the frame, and connect the camper electrical system to the bolt.
Ok option, I need to waterproof one bolt.
3. Run a fat from the camper electrical system and connect it to the truck frame.
Requires a big hole and a gland fitting. Not preferred.
open to other ideas as well.
