By ground I'm assuming you are referencing the green lead off the BT12 controller? From the Carefree manual here is what the green lead does when correctly wired
The BT12 module provides an ignition lockout option.
When the “IGN LOCK” (green wire) is connected to the vehicle PCM or other switched source the following parameters
are set: a) If Open = Awning Active b) If tied to GND = RTL (Retract Then Lock) – Awning retracts, extend command disabled c) If tied to +12Vdc = Standard – Extend command disabled
As for the Carefree product I don't think the blame is on Carefree. I believe the issue falls on WBGO not correctly wiring & installing.
In the three years of ownership, I have found several wiring issues both low and 120 volt that cause me deep concern for our safety. Recently while in FL we returned to the RV in camp to find the AC off. Terror filled me thinking without the AC we would need to leave for home in the morning. First thing I did we pull the cover off the roof AC unit and check for power. I was relived when there was now power. I traced the issue down to a failed electrical connection above the Frig. The connection had burned free, just short of starting a fire. Today I'm in the process or replacing the junk WBGO used on the AC wiring. Don't condemn WBGO, I'm sure all manufactures are using the same junk. I just happen to be in the electrical trade with easy material access.
