question? can you get shocked from 12volt?
kids tote trailer has 12volt electric jack ,and last week in the rain, they say they got shocked when some body touched the trailer. I know nothing about electric things.

If the rig is plugged into 120V at home or camp site or the generator is running and then you feel a shock, that changes my previous comment for I assumed NO 120V present on the rig or trailer. An on-board 120V inverter turned on could also be influential.
I agree that there are a few engine components that can knock you off your feet like touching a spark plug with engine cranking. Many thousand volts generated there, but that would never be felt at the trailer. And because it is a pulsation (not a constant), you'll have the opportunity to let go before you get hurt......assumed you don't have a life-line medical devise you depend on.
