Vegas 24.1 - Should Chassis and House batteries have a common ground to the chassis ? It does not appear that mine does and this may explain some strange charging / discharging behaviors.

It would seem to me that for the alternator to charge the house batteries there must be a common ground with the alternator / chassis battery? Preferably something that can take the high charging amperages.

As I untangle the mess the previous owner left me with I am finding lots of odd cables, switches to no where and things that were removed but wires left behind. Seems there is a lot of untangling to do and problems to solve and possibly missing a common ground between the two systems might resolve a lot of them.

Any thoughts from the forums would be appreciated.
