You have 2 problems:
First you have a ground fault that would immediately trip a GFCI if you plugged into one. This needs to be fixed since it compromises safety.
Second: You have a open ground allowing voltage on the ground components. They should all be securely bonded to the ground wire all the way back to the CG/home service panel where the ground, neutral and earth ground are bonded. This is potentially a very serious issue as someone could get hurt.
Recommend that every RV periodically plug into a GFCI plug and check all equipment for safe operation. For a 20A GFCI plug wait for the battery to charge (or turn if off) and then test each appliance.
There are many posts on how to find the problem area.
