Grounding issues

Go to the park office and insist that they make repairs.

It sounds like your electrical system is not grounded through the pedestal and the pedestal is the fault of that. I would recommend you contact the park owner and have him remedy the potentially dangerous pedestal.

Someone is going to get electrocuted with that existing condition in the system, especially when its wet. Tell the owner ASAP, and if he won't correct it call the county building dept./state electrical inspector and report the problem.

What everyone said, SOON. That is a dangerous situation.

Unplug trailer. You could die. Sounds like you have a "hot skin condition". Trailer is not grounded. Google "Trailer hot skin".

Yep, Unplug until it gets fixed. refer and heater control boards don't like that.

They have a short somewhere in the system. could be at the weatherhead, a buried feeder. water/ corrosion at a splice. any where really.

While you are doing what everybody said above, also go get a surge protector with the diagnostic lights for ground faults, reverse polarity, etc.. Before I ever hook up to anybody's box, I check it for being correct. Haven't had a bad one like you, but 30 amps can put a real hurting on you.
Good luck and let us know what happens.

The owner of this park was suppose to come down yesterday but never came so we bought a long copper tube, and pounded it into the ground. And wrapped a copper coil around the bumper area where the spare tire sat. We tested the area, and discovered it only tingled. But...if you touch rubber, you get a zing. When the area Is dry it's normal when wet different you get zapped. We checked the connection from our side, and its all good, but his box where our connection is pulled into seems to be where the problem exists. We cant find another place to just pull out and go. We are aware there was a fire in the space where we are, about a year ago, and management said they cleaned up the area. The coach next to us, their box was burned. We were able to find out they have PG&E but didn't use their services for their connection boxes for RV's, why I don't know. Someone who is not connected to PG&E or a licensed contractor apparently put these boxes in. Stupid, stupid, stupid I know. We will be contacting the owner again tomorrow. We are looking for another spot to go to. This area on the Central Coast of CA is very difficult to locate another place to park. When we do have to leave, everything is unplugged completely. With work etc, it is very hard to find even a temp spot for 6 months. I will keep you posted, and I hope the owner of Resthaven will resolve the issue.

We are only set up for a 30 amp as 50 amp would burn me to the ground wouldn't it? The box has a 50amp,30 amp, and a 20 amp for trailers.

Heavens No. Amps are pulled, voltage is pushed.
