2006 Smokey by Sunray

This is my first camper. I am looking for help with a few things. The first is locating any manuals or documentation on this Trailer. Second thing is a bit harder. I don't know how the electrical systems are setup on this camper but here is the issue. I was in my bare feet the other day and touched the fold out stairs. I felt a low voltage current. I am able to feel this voltage on the stairs as well as the door frame. This only happens when the camper is plugged into the house. I put a brand new battery in the camper after this and went on a weekend trip without the camper. When I got back, the carbon monoxide alarm was blaring and the battery was almost dead when I got home. Looking around the power converter, I seem to notice the converter is making a humming noise. Where do I start troubleshooting this?
  • What you have is known as "Hot Skin" and be very very careful until you have this problem fixed. You can Google "hot skin RV" and take a look at this link:
