This is going to sound like a bad pun, but I was "shocked" to see that the coach involved is a 2014. Has Dealer/Manufacturer/Warranty been involved?
That said, major Boating Safety organizations like Boat/US are weighing in on what's called Electric Shock Drowning (ESD for short) in the marine community. The Coast Guard has led a recent charge to promote awareness and the inspection (along with modification in many cases) of marina electrical systems.
So the remark "dead in the water" above led me to want to post This Boat/US Link about ESD. As Coast Guard Auxiliary we work to educate and warn the public. Our mantra is "Don't Swim Near Anything Using AC Power."
I know one of the article authors (David Rifkin) personally and have adapted his material as part of our Water Sports training.
The OP is being warned of the risk of the RV version of ESD. The boy in the YouTube article experienced the full tragic force of it. Browse the webpage, you may find something useful.
In your checks, if you tear into the coach yourself, check where the flexible shore tie cable splices into the coach's solid wiring. Be sure that connection is tight.
I'm not one of the Campfire Lawyers, but I see the possibility the coach builder/dealer do not want to get involved in this because of liability concerns. I am also concerned that they might also try to deny liability if you have been tinkering with the unit. Problem is, I don't know how to divine that concern.
