All along I thought we had rodent issues...

Well chips are a problem for my diabetic feet.  I had to dig one out of the ball in my right foot.  Didnt feel it when I steped on it and would have not noticed if it werent for my blood trail.

there is a thread on here about the lights flickering and turning on by themselves...it was due to the excessive alum chips completing the power circuit on the back of the board.  quite a few have had it happen.

as for the grounds, remember that a camper is not grounded the same way a house is.  due to code...the ground and neutral buses in an rv are unbonded from each other (floated)

The compartment with my power converter looks like Fast Eddie's. Ok was amazed at the other debris that was in there as well. I disassembled everything and cleaned. It is my biggest peve. If the chips bug you how about the curlys coming off the self tapping screws I took pictures of everything and will share over cold one at the rally in July.

He's been hearing it from me, but I think will be helpful to talk to you guys and see what you have experienced!
