Ground block

Does a Montana have an electric ground block? If so does anyone know where it is?

Would you be asking about a place to run a bare ground to the rig from a ground rod? If so, not that I am aware of. The Montana has a four wire umbilical cord, with a ground wire in it. There is a ground buss in the electrical distribution panel.

I suppose I meant a ground buss. So this is located behind the electric panel inside the trailer? I want to check for positive connections to the buss for the furnace. I am having intermittent problems with the furnace. Some one suggested that I check for corrosion at the ground buss.

I think you run the grounds to the frame. The grounds in the hydraulics compartment is to the frame.

Lcarter, what type of problems? If you suspect a bad furnace ground, just run a small wire from the furnace shell to the frame. Clean the flame rod, as dirty flame rod will give intermittent problems.
