Grounding issues
Been awhile since I have been online, moved to a different RV park here in Central Ca. Problem, there appears to be a grounding issue, when ever I touch the outside of my rig I get sparks and zapped. ...

Ok, so I called this Mobile RV Tech @ 6am PST, and he called back and was here in less then 2 hours. What he found, the electrical box had some issues with the grounding, which he re did. Second, the fuse box, inside the trailer, they checked out right on the money. He replaced the thermostat on the water heater, and the water heater wasn't grounded like it should have been. The white wire was on the wrong input, and the black was on the other side. He checked all wiring inside the coach. The main problem was at the electrical box, was still not properly grounded even with the surge protector on it. He fixed that too. He advised us to by jumper wires for the two batteries which we will put on tomorrow. The zapping is gone. He also told us that on the electrical box there is another GFI which he told us to take an extention cord and connect our small freezer to it as that would stop the overload. My A/C is working fine now, as with all lights, water heater, he reversed the water heater to run on either electric or propane. As for my slide that has a gap that's the next job for him to do in days ahead. If any of you are in the San Luis Obispo county area, the mobile RV is called Art's Mobile RV service. He was very good, went straight to the problems and resolved them. He was amazed that this park would put a trailer in a spot where there had been a fire, that burned another trailer to the ground. The surge protector is working the way it should be. Both lights are now green as they should be, and no RED anywhere. I was very pleased how quickly he arrived and took control and got this coach back to the norm. Art's Mobile service's phone number is 805-712-2087, just in case you need someone who knows his stuff about TT's. He was reasonable in his price, it was under 300.00. I now feel safe and secure, but I am still going to move out of this park as soon as I can. He even gave us a number where there may be a space. Thank you to each of you that have helped me with this situation.
