I was getting small shocks one time when parking under some high voltage lines in Texas... Moved out from under the high voltage wires and it all cleared up haha...

I had a similar experience and I always thought it was a Magnetic Field inducing a voltage on the vehicle. It has taken me many years to realize the voltage on the vehicle was because of the capacitive coupling in the Electric Field surrounding the transmission line. It has only been very recent that I ever heard of someone feeling a slight tingle in an RV from a 120VAC Electric Field. Hence my motivation for this thread. Thank you for your contribution.
I wasn't feeling anything the inside the RV. This only happened when outside and touching the outer metal of the RV... A very slight tingle...

Yes, I realize that....the rubber tires insulated the vehicle from EARTH. Then when you were standing on EARTH and touched the vehicle you completed a circuit to EARTH.
