short circuit when hooked to shore ower

[Hoot887]

I have a 2000 Holiday Rambler that has developed a short circuit when it is hooked to shore power. I have turned off the 2 master switches = same problem. I disconnected the batteries of both the truck and the house and still get the tingle when shore power is connected. The only thing that has changed is the backup camera stopped working. I just removed the backup camera and monitor and sent them to RV Cam who tested the camera good but the monitor was bad. I purchased a new Voyager monitor and used the old camera to save a few $. I reinstalled the system using the kits I purchased from RV Cam and the monitor works fine
I know very little about the wiring of the rig. Any help you can give would be a great help.

A "tingle" when you touch the coach is NOT a good thing. It's wise you're trying to find the problem. As stated, start with the pedestal, then go to the cord. Once you've verified those a both good, give us as much info as possible and we'll sort it out. It could be a wire that's chafed on the frame somewhere 9possible) or it could be a wire that's come loose.(not likely)....Dennis

Need more facts:

Is this on only one shore power connection or many. Said another way, have you verified that shore power outlet is correctly wired?

Have you tested shore power at RV end of the shore power cord for polarity, voltage and ground?

If you have an ATS have you tested the same there?

as those cords get old and hang while they are plugged in they begin to get loose at the ends. does yours screw into the R V or is ir permanently attached. And do you have a automatic transfer switch. If you do not have a automatic transfer switch you have to plug the cord into a 30 or 50 amp plug inside the R V of coarse that is only if you have a generator. If no generator the cord is the first thing that would be suspect, next place to check if you have a inverter charger go there if you have converter charger that is the place to go to there is where your individual grounds are then trace that back to your frame ground. but I also think it is in your cord. as far as your camera monitor those are both 12 volts

The plug on your power cable might have some loose wires/connections.

Not enough info to comment. Is a breaker tripping or what?

You likely have a bad/loose ground somewhere either in the coach or the pedestal if you're getting a tingling when you plug in. I'd start by having the pedestal checked, and then check your shore cord/plug for loose or broken wires.

might be your shore power cord.
