I do hope you a 'joshing' about connecting it to a gas line......I cant tell you how many codes I believe would be in violation with that setup. I believe that gas line (Propane?) if on an RV is isolated from the chassis via rubber mounts, at least everyone I ever owned did, which doesnt provide any method of ground, RF or electrical.. Run that ground strap to the frame or chassis, which is at least going to some sort of ground via the Shore Power line, even though marginal, sure better than an 'explosive' ground...
