small electrical charge on truck camper frame
I have a interesting situation where every once in a while, not often I can feel a small electrical charge on my truck camper aluminum frame or door latch. I believe it is only with the 12 volt syste...

Okay I think I have it pinned down to the converter itself for real.
This is what the outside of my converter metal box reads. Over 59 Volts. I have the one end stuck in the ground of the outlet the other attached to the converter box.
You can't tell from this picture but my gismo is blinking and chirping like mad anywhere withen 5 inches of the metal box.
So the way I have it figured is when the converter breaker is on the twelve volt system will back feed into the converter and that is why it happened on the road not connected to shore power. When on shore power I am running just over 60 volts AC to the metal in the camper. I think that could be dangerous. What say you all? Also what do you think of my summation of whats going on. I also did the voltage test with the converter unplugged and there was no voltage in the line. I did that just to be sure where the voltage was coming from which is the converter box. Also now I no why I could not make it act up when I removed the converter box from the housing so it was not touching metal.
Finally would you try to repair this converter or replace.
All opinions welcome and appreciated.
