Try plugging into a GFCI protected outlet.
And no mention of using an outlet tester... so polarity could still be an issue.
When an RV Ground/Chassis is allowed to float (ie: open ground), the capacitance between HOT to GROUND and GROUND to NEUTRAL will cause the floating Chassis to assume a voltage level < 120/2 = 60 VAC above Earth. The resulting current leak, which is normal, may or may not be enough to trip a GFCI.
Yes of course.
I still recommend plugging into a GFCI and using the plug tester before I said it was all clear and safe.
