The coach chassis is always at ground potential and bonded with the neutral ,whether it is shore power, genset or battery bank. You cannot have a "ground-loop". it's a misleading misnomer. You could possibly have an ungrounded device, but not a loop, since a proper ground(ing) system is the end of the line for a current/voltage path. The Trace is internally bonded/grounded and is at the same potential as the genset ground/neutral,
as long as the Traces is bolted/bonded to the coach chassis. A quality ohm-meter is indispensable at a time like this. Don't co-mingle equipment internal blueprints with installation prints. Hook it up, then set the meter for three decimal place read-out on the Ohm scale and you should show 00.000 Ohms between both device chassis and the coach chassis. E-mail me direct for more help if you need it. jarjaje@wmconnect.com HTH Cheers...JJ
