[QUOTE="KateLovesPurple, post: 500401, member: 743"] Totally and utterly and dangerously wrong!!!! As Eliott99 says in his amended post title, the answer is yes. For exactly the reason you give. If for some reason the mains ends up connected to the chassis by a fault or because the cable is worn through then you will make the chassis live which means when you stand on the ground outside the van and grab hold of the door to open it you stand a big risk of an electric shock. If the van is connected to earth then as soon as the problem occurs then the 240v is shunted to earth and the breakers will trip and you will be safe. If your van is not earthed Steve, please sort it out as soon as possible. [/QUOTE]
