I think this is a good time to relate a thought I had last night. RV White Wire Issues. The RV industry seems to have adopted a standard where the the White Wire is Ground in the 12V area and Black is Hot. While that does eliminate the "Oh a black wire, Is it just a ground or will it Kill me scenario." It creates a new problem. The White wire in the 12V is Ground but the White wire in 120V is Neutral and should never be attached to the frame (Ground) inside your RV. When I look at my RV I see lots of white wires going to 2 terminal blocks along with a bunch of bare wires going to one of them. Confusing at best, Dangerous at worst. Your Thoughts??????
The Marine industry has adopted a Safety wire that has a Red and Yellow wire for use in 12V systems where 120V systems are present. That seems to make more sense.
