Do I still have an electrical issue or am I okay?

I do not care for the hockey puck style adapters. Suggest dog bone style but may have to use two.

x2 Hockey puck adapters generate too much heat in a small area.

Now having a good ground could be masking power leakage to ground that should also be repaired.

Now you are good.

I've heard all I need to know. My electrical engineering ended with second semester engineering physics. That was 56 years ago.

When I learned that you couldn't cross a river on a Wheatstone Bridge I swapped to Civil Engineering and steel bridges. What I still remember about capacitors is that they can still bite after disconnected.

You found the issue.........bad ground in an adapter

Now you are good.

Get a three light outlet tester asap. First use it on the 15 amp source, then check in the RV.
Less than $10 at any hardware store.

First: Let me explain that RV's have many many feet of ROMEX type cable. I will get technical later in this post but ROMEX can act as a voltage divider

Splitting line voltage (Generally) but the split can be less than even.

IF the safety ground is open (As it was on your adapter) then. YOu get hot skin

Fixing the ground, fixed. BUT this does not mean there can not be an additional problem (I would have expected about 70 volts PEAK, not RMS on the skin.. But let me get technical now)

In electronics we have a device called a Capacitor.. It consists of two metal plates with a dielectric (insulator) seperating, may be air, rubber, plastic, anything that does not CONDUCT electricity. In addition you may have multiple plates in a "Dagwood Sandwich" configuration.

The symbol is --||-- (The dashed lines are the leads, the uprights represent the two separated plates)

Well in an AC circuit they act a lot like Resistors (There are also major differences but.. Romex cable .. Electronically,, Thus becomes

---||---||---
With the 3 dashes in the center being the safety ground (The left and right are HOT and Neutral) This 'Divides' the 120 volts into 60 volts rather nicely.

SO that's the bad news.. Now the good news.

Since the "plates" (parallel wires in this case) are rather small, and the distance between them rather large compared to a real capicator.. The total capatience is actually fairly low..

This means the Reactance (Expressed in Ohms, just like Resistance, AC equivlent in this circuit) is very low so only a tiny amount of current can flow.

Still. can bite a bit.

No, the problem with the adapter could easily cause your problem all by itself and since your repair fixed the issue, your good.
There's no reason at this point to think anything else is wrong.
