[VAC] Re: Water & electric
Jim,
I don't really understand
About connecting neutral to ground. Well, I realize that common house
circuits combine the neutral and ground in the main fuse panel. I hadn't
thought about it in the trailer. They weren't connected as such when I
opened the main panel box. Guess it's a good thing you mentioned the
consequence.

Guess I still like the idea of a GFI in the line to the trailer from the RV
park hookup. Camper's World item #14640 GFI + surge suppressor at $89 seems
to be a bargain as compared to other options.
Thanks, Joy
