NEED HELP 02' Itasca 6awg ground at propane tank

So long story short... I had a blowout, I've gotten almost everything fixed but this GROUND wire.

Can someone tell me where it attached too? The rear lug in attached to the frame/tank mount.

2002 Itasca Suncruiser by Winnebago, so I'd assume there are a few similar models in either version.

It's a chassis ground, so if one end is already on the tank, the other would go to the chassis. Probably down through the floor to a frame rail?

It's attached at the rear of the tank to the chassis, but loose out front.
So the tank is grounded by the frame already, but whats the wire for?

Stretch the wire around the area and you should find a connection somewhere. If the tank is attached only by straps it won't be a good ground because of paint.

This is how Winnebago did that ground on my Horizon. One end attached to the propane tank bracket and the other end to a propane supply pipe, they probably did something similar on your rig. The pipe attachment point is right in front of the rear tires.

PERFECT! that's what I'm looking for, and make way more sense

My blowout took out part of the 1/2" pipe so, I'm sure it's missing that ground strap
