drcampbell is right on the money here.

Stirred some memorys. The Bonding screw.

The test light is quick and easy but if you have a ohm meter you can do the tests as pointed out by drcampbell. If you know how to use it the meter is better.

Be over cautous with the grounding.

I have seen appliences and stainless counter tops hot. Not a good thing. You may even want a gfi of your own in the trailer.

Having the test light is not a bad thing. I use one to check my hook ups at parks. You just don't know who did the wiring. Could be a maintenance guy with no clue. It happens. Its comforting to know your wired right. Safer too.

People do the darndest things. I have seen a ceiling fan connected to AC 120v with gator clips to striped wires in over head. Then covered with insulation. Not exactly to code. The supporting box was wrong too.

But thats why there is a code and inspectors.

The wiring your doing is fairly simple stuff. Basicly keep the whites going to the whites, and blacks to blacks, and grounds to grounds.

You can fix this.
