TrOy,
What you are experiencing is not normal, it sometimes called "hot skin", it is a symptom of not having a good ground of your shore power.
This often can be traced to bad extension cords (bad/no ground), bad adapters (15A/20A to trailer 30A or 50A/30A adapters) and sometimes internally in your RV (breaker panel, RV fridge heater leakage to ground, ect).
So, you need to give some additional info..
Is this happening only at home or at campsite or both?
What kind of plug do you have (30A 120V, 50A 120/240V)
Are you using any adapters?
Extension cords?
This does need fixed.
