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. ...

The stray voltage on the ground plane is best diagnosed by process of elimination. Turn off all of the circuit breakers and start measuring for that stray voltage at the place you got the best measurement. Individually, turn on breakers until you see that measured voltage again. Likely suspects for this are water heaters with an electric element, refrigerators powered w/120 V, and loose wires on receptacles.
Good luck!
OK, so I tested and re-tested the breakers from shore-power, first the 15A service, and then the 20A air conditioner. The culprit appears to be the 15AMP. ...unless, somehow I am mistaken. (??) I am getting a reading of 20 on the 200ACV meter setting at the door and step. I'm assuming, based on a comment above, that this means I have a 20A "leak". (??) I have checked the attachment of the ground and hot-wire of the breaker box, which appear to be secure, and even if they weren't, I would have an issue with both 15A service, and the 20A. Right? Next?
