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. ...

Well. Lo and behold, when I went into the house, I found that the cord I was using had no ground post. It also turns out the cord I was also using, is long enough to reach the house. I have no idea why I did that. Brain damage from the accident, I guess. Anyway...
Does aluminum conduct electricity? Because I am still getting the same reading all over the camper where there are aluminum screws, along with the front door.
The (steel) step is covered in rubber now (partially), so... does that count as a ground like my shoes are?
The step is testing 0.0, so that's good. But the screws that hold the rear lights on the body are testing at 21.7, as is the cargo rack, which is attached by the tow bar, which is 0.0. This makes no sense unless aluminum is a false reading. Otherwise, how can electricity flow into the aluminum without a connection?
I'm about to take my shoes off to check it all out. :P
