I have an electrical problem. I have a short in my trailer in the 110V system. The other day my son went out to the trailer which I keep plugged in the house to look for something. He was in his bare feet and when he touched the handle to a storage compartment he got a slight shock. I turned off both receptacles for the wall outlets and have figured out that is where the short is. I unplugged the trailer for now. How do I go about measuring the current on the outside of the trailer so I don't have to use my kid as a guinea pig? Where should I look first to resolve the problem?
Can't have a short, it would pop a breaker or melt a wire...... You likely have a grounding/neutral issue. As was said earlier, check your cords and circuits you are plugged in to. $5 at HD or Lowes will get you a simple 110v circuit tester. Get it fixed before someone gets hurt.
