Arc welding can possibly damage electrical devices on the RV so if this is what you plan to do I'd recommend disconnecting the wiring from the batteries etc. A safer method would be welding with a torch. Welders typically say just to disconnect the battery and connect the ground as close to the weld as possible and you'll be fine.
