Most likely problem if you've never encountered it before

I just bought it used. I never felt it until I took my shoes off

I have checked the garage outlet and it shows ok.

Did it just start shocking you? Or has it done it before?
As stated above, check the source. That may be the problem.

Start with the obvious and don't overlook anything. The cord and plug would be the starting point. I laid my extension cord on my bumper one day where it plugs into my camper cord and created that situation. Bad adapter!

What are you plugged into? Put an outlet tester in and post the results.

Could be bad ground or reverse polarity. Could also have ground fault in the RV. Start with the source.

Because the path to ground has been interupted. Usualy the cause is a faulty 120VAC receptacle in your garage connection or the flimsy extension cord you are using.

The only way your trailer frame gets a ground is though the shore power plug.

Use one these 120VAc circuit testers from LOWES on the 120VAC receptacle before plugging in your RV30A-15A long dogbone adapter and it will tell you whether your connection is good or bad...


Don't take this lightly - what may be just a tingle to you might really do harm to someone else...
