Hi Dennis:
        We live in a dangerous world here. The Inverter does have a
ground (3 prong) and it is grounded to the chassis and operating
through a GFI circuit.. Previous to that, I had personally tested the
'shock value' several times and yes.. I now have curly hair and can
read "Women's Thoughts" but it was only an annoyance not a killer,
the shock that is, not the mind reading, now that's potentially life
threatening.
        I assume the danger of shock is no greater than and perhaps
even less than when tied into a campground and visitors arrive. Other
than that it's a limited access bus. It's a great though for a
burglar deterrent... thanks....
