didn&#8217;t have a proper ground distribution bar, and this was  all ready in the trailer, I re-stripped all wires to get nice  shiny copper and made a many to one connection through the bolt.\u00a0 I lightly coated everything with Vaseline to keep it from oxidizing and then wrapped in an inner tube to keep it insulated from everything else.\u00a0 At the same  time I put in a switch to disconnect the battery and finally added an old current shunt  resistor from my parts box.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item
