[VAC] Re: Water & electric

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson, electrical engineer]

When a house main panel connects neutral and ground, the ground is
fairly assured independent of the power connection. That's not the case
in the trailer, you don't generally drive a ground rod independent of
the power feed. So you don't want neutral and ground connected together.
They will have been at the main panel of the campground where there is
supposed to be a good ground.

And connecting neutral and ground together in the trailer panel will
trip the GFCI in the pedestals that have one.
