Grounding a Campervan Electrical System

DC Ground: The negative terminal of your leisure battery and all 12V components should be grounded to the chassis. Use a negative bus bar to consolidate connections, and wire the bus bar back to the van''s manufacturer-provided chassis ground point or create a new one by securely bolting into bare metal.

Should Negative on Battery Bank Be tied to Ground?

When you ground the battery bank (negative battery bus ground bonding to ground rod/cold water pipe/etc.) it makes sure that the negative terminal can never get above zero volts. So shorting the negative wiring cannot cause a "short circuit" or over current situation and you only need fuses/breaker in the + leads (DC input to inverter, any 24 volt loads …
