Tub earth.

Postby Brett2807 on Sat, 06 Feb 2021 3:28 +0000

Hi all, can any of y'all tell me if the tub on a 2020 SR5 is earthed? I'm going to install a few power sockets in the tub and was going to earth them directly to the tub if its earthed.
Cheers Brett

It’d be earthed if you put a metal stake into the ground and ran an earth tail down to the stake!

You’d probably get away with the current return via the tub but it is always better to run a battery 0V or -ve wire the same size as the +ve wire to the sockets. Or do both a return wire and attach to the tub. I always use a figure 8 cable.
