Electrified frame, dead batteries!!!
I have been away from this site many moons, and have been out of RVing pursuing other hobbies, but I am about to pull my 1992 Southwind out and start a "remodel". It has an issue that had plagued it ...

I am posting this as being a possible source of the OPs "Hot Skin":
A quote from another thread:
"Again, just because I could, I parked my 28 Ft Class C under a 6KV single phase line (about 20 feet in height) and measured a very steady 62 VAC RMS (88 VAC peak) from the chassis bumper to Earth using a 10 MegOhm input VOM. This Class C has a rubber roof and non conductive walls (other then metal frame work imbedded in the walls, I think)."
And yes, the there was NO shore power cable connected, this was a deliberate attempt to demonstrate the capacitive coupling between the 6KV line and the RV when said RV was NOT grounded through a shore power cord or any other conductive path to EARTH.
