I agree but if the trailer is properly grounded there would be no stray voltage to be felt since the frame is part of the ground
I just did some work on a melted neutral bar in my trailer and discovered that there is no ground to frame on the 120 volt side, only on the 12 volt side. The ground from shore power goes to the grounding bar and all the outlets ground wires go to that bar. The bar is isolated and there is no ground wire to frame anywhere that I can find, is this unusual? I can clearly see where the 12 volt ground goes to frame.
There should not be a connection between the neutral & ground in your trailer. The neutral & ground should be connected at the campground power supply. The trailer is an accessory plugged into the campground power. Just as there is no connection between ground & neutral for any appliance you plug in at home, such as heater, etc...
I know that already, my question was about the ground wire from shore power, in my trailer that ground wire DOES NOT connect to the trailer frame at any spot. The shore ground wire (120 VAC on 30 amp connection) simply goes to a ground bar and that bar is isolated from the trailer frame. My concern is creating a ground through a person from the trailer to ground.
