If your Tioga is like my Jamboree the grounds in the rear running light are via one of the two threaded studs that hold each light in place. I would remove each lamp and clean the stud amd mating surface in the lamp and see if it improves. It might be a good time to replace them all if they are the original lights. They are relatively inexpensive. The grounds are wired in series so a difference in voltage often times is linked to a bad gound connection somewhere. The positive connections are in parralel however.
You are correct the ground does go to the mount stud. I have removed and cleaned them all. Some of them do not feel like the post or stud coming out of the rv shell is very stable. Like its not secure. If I thought I could fish the wires I would replace them all with LED's.
