Re: [A/S] Rewiring the Bambi, "HOTSKIN"

["Eric and Linda Evans" <elevan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Matt for answering so thoroughly.  What I have bought is a plastic
panel box and 20-amp breakers with 12-2 w/ground.  Perhaps I should go back
and get 15-amp breakers.  I was not going to ground any part of my system to
the trailer at all.  I did buy the extra ground bar to install in the panel
box.  I had planned to hook the whites to the original ground bar, the
blacks to the breakers and the bares to the extra ground bar.  I also
planned to jumper the two lugs to make 110 on all breaker lugs.  I still
don't understand why you say to install a ground wire to the trailer or
frame.  Wouldn't that still create a way to have a "hot skin" situation if
the ground wire and neutral were crossed in the source?  Is there a reason I
need a good ground?
