	i asked this ? a few days ago. i'm reading 2. 5 v from the neutral wire to ground in the receptical boxes on my camper. should i use a ground stake? all the breakers "3 cheaters" are running off one side of the entrance box. could this be the the problem?

	The system is 12v or are we talking mains? If you want to see if the voltage is real or just residual induced flow check it by putting a load on it.....2.5 v with 0 amps is ghost voltage....I would balance the load, but if you have sufficient capacity feeding the breakers, it's not a problem... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	I think you have to much time on your hands and not enough real problems in life to worry about. If not there are some really good medications today that make such fixations less fixating if you know what I am saying.

	do you consider an electrical problem in a living area as something i should just ignore? CR4 ADMIN: Modified Post Abuse/Attack: This post was modified because it was an attack on another user. Please review the CR4 Site FAQ and the CR4 Rules of Conduct.

	I definitely recommend the meds now! Maybe a tranquilizer dart or too as well. "don't ever slander me again. your obviously an egotist looking to satisfy your own pathological needs." Careful now talk like that may just make you my new online hobby!

	No, there isn't a problem, as indicated a few days ago with reasoning at that time. http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/80007/Home-Wiring __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
