When I had a friend add a piece of metal for my hydraulic support he said the below which matches what others have mentioned relating to welding. I don't weld, but this is what we did when I watched him fixing up my unit. Remember, finding and fixing something fried is much more expensive than having someone do it that has experience.
For any welding, disconnect the chassis/engine battery, the house battery, incoming solar power and street power. No voltage anywhere incoming/usable.
When you are welding, put the clamp as close to the location you are welding as possible so the volt/amps take the path of least resistance/shortest path from the rod to the clamp. Make sure the area clamped on to is clean direct metal. No paint, debris, etc.
