Hi all,
I am completely rewiring my 1978 Ambassador International.
I would like to combine the AC and DC panel by using a marine AC/DC panel from
BlueSea (Model 8084)
Per original design the two panels are mounted on the opposite ends of the trailer, the DC panel all the way up front and the AC breaker box in the back in the bathroom.
I was wondering if there are any concerns in combining the two panels. Especially regarding grounding. The AC breaker box was grounded to the end of one main frame member and the DC panel to one of the shell ribs.
Combining the boxes would mean bringing the two grounding points closer together. Could this create a hazard?
I believe the newer trailers have a combined AC/DC panel as well. How does the grounding look in them?
Any input on would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Georgie
