Beneath ours, for other reasons, I came across three or four ground connections to the frame.
As a preventative measure, I pulled them apart, cleaned copper wire with steel wool, removed the ground clamp, cleaned where the wire goes, cleaned the mount area for the clamp, again, I use the de-ox grease on all connections remounting it.

The copper wire was solid #12, or 14 wire.
The clamp was a small aluminum square opening with a set screw and a mount bolt.
Some of the cleaning was just scraping to see a small amount of bare metal (shiny) where connections would seat.
Dab of de-ox grease at all metal contact points.
As found, they were dry connected, which is okay until corrosion does set in.

I must say, we were not experiencing any problems, I just realize it could become an issue if left alone.
So, I too, agree with the many here who say maybe a ground.

2014 Tuscany xte 40'. Delivered new with LED ceiling lights throughout. Just out of warranty lights began to flicker one by one. Just slightly at first then increasing and finally light failed completely. This took months. I sent one of the partially failed ones to my electrical engineer brother in California. He said all the components were sub standard. I bought "good" ones and replaced them all. 4 years later & all still bright & no flicker. Never checked for bad connections, grounds, bad cells, etc. Just put in good quality LED fixture and LED's & done.
