I was amazed this morning to find that this wasn't already in the codes and regulations section!
NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) is responsible for maintaining the NEC (National Electric Code - NFPA 70) that we in the US should follow on our electrical installations (this includes RV's).
Physical versions of the code book are great to reference if you are doing this work full time, however at a price tag of $180 ~ $240 a piece, it makes it out of reach for a beginner.
The good news is that NFPA offers a free online version! I think they make you create an NFPA account, but you can access current and prior versions of the NEC. I think this is great because when it's free, there is no one to blame but oneself for not taking a bit to educate themselves on the code.
Here is the link to the NEC, just click the big "Free Access" button: https://www.nfpa.org/codes-and-stan...ds/list-of-codes-and-standards/detail?code=70
Just remember, as the NEC says in it's first article..."This code is not intended as a design specification or an instruction manual for untrained persons."
