[VAC] Re: tongue set-up
Dick,
I'd do as you suggest for grounding: install a ground lug near your
new fuse panel, then run jumpers to the frame and both inner and outer
body shells. All new wiring run by you should have the white wire
connected to this ground lug. As others have pointed out, be sure to use
wire that's plenty heavy, especially to your 12-volt fridge and to the
furnace and water pump. The lights aren't nearly as critical. The main
battery wires should be #6 to minimize voltage drop.
And, yes, a 40-amp fuse should be fine for the "disaster" function.
