Metal camper step shocked my dog!
I realize that I have an electrical issue, as sometimes I get a little shock when I step into the cabin wearing no shoes. My dog got shocked on the wet step last night, and it really traumatized her. ...

I just had this problem a year ago, even with the electrical cord, unplugged and laying on the ground and with no generator running. You can read about it here, but it is pretty long.

It sounds like less volts than you are seeing but in a nut shell I found about 5VAC with the RV plugged in and the circuit breaker turned off, and about 2VAC with it unplugged and couldn't figure out why for the longest time. The 5VAC ended up being sent into the RV by the ground connector in the plug coming from the campground electrical panel (campground fixed), and the 2VAC that I had even when the RV was unplugged was coming from the water supply. Yep that's right, the spigot, which of course some people use underground water pipes for a ground, was putting off almost 2VAC and it was carrying through the water and making an electrical connection to the frame of my RV (probably in the grounded water pump) that I was able to see on a multi meter when connected to bare metal on my RV and the other end stuck in the mud. They haven't figured out where that's coming from yet but from some other things I've read 2V or less might be felt if touching bare metal with wet hands and standing in bare feet in a puddle, but shouldn't hurt you (I hope). I was able to feel the 5VAC but now that that is fixed I haven't felt the 2V lately, but I haven't really tried to test it after a rain. This year the same campground has put in ground rods at most of the water spigots.
I doubt that my solution will be your solution but some of the advice given in my thread might still help you
