Rfore,
Not that you don't have enough responses, but I have seen this before with the boats that I used to work on before the depression.
My bet is that you have two problems.
First: There is poor connection in the safety ground bonding between your coach and the house ground. As you say this happens in more than one place, I would bet dollars to doughnuts that there is a problem in you main panel or your shore power cable. When you get the located and repaired, then all kinds of other things will look wrong.
Second: There is a leakage of power to ground that should be going to the neutral. This is a very common failure in heating elements. "But I'm not heating anything!" Just the water heater, the coffee pot and the reefer (uncommon on boats). Any one of these can leak a lot of power to ground and still operate as expected.
Too bad you are in Florida.
