If you have proper connection of the ground wire from the outlet all the way to the trailer frame you will not have voltage at all on the frame. If you have a short if will trip a breaker. If it is induced voltage it will be dissipated without you feeling it.
Turning off the breaker is eliminating the source of the stray voltage. The stray voltage could be a short. Or it could be voltage induced into the surrounding metal due to the energy field created due to the current flow.
In any event the first thing to do is ensure you have good solid connection of ground from the source (outlet) to the frame.
