Metal camper step shocked my dog!
I realize that I have an electrical issue, as sometimes I get a little shock when I step into the cabin wearing no shoes. My dog got shocked on the wet step last night, and it really traumatized her. ...

After reading 7 pages on this subject, I have decided that this guy is pulling your leg. Doesn't know the difference between volts and amps, nor what a GFCI is, etc.
What's worse you have been telling him how to troubleshoot the problem when he knows absolutely nothing about electricity. He admitted that himself. A very dangerous thing to be doing.
Only one or two gave him the correct advice, and that is to get a qualified person to find and repair the problem.
Sharing knowledge is great under the right circumstances, but this is not the time and place.

If the voltage is only leaking when the amplifier is connected and powered, that would indicate the amplifier is the culprit. However, is the amplifier connected to the 120V system or is it DC powered? Somewhat puzzling is the measurement of 5V when nothing is being powered. Can you share what type of meter you are using?
The converter is the device that provides 12 V power to charge your battery and acts as a 12 V supply when connected to shore power to power lights, pumps, fans, etc. It is typically located behind a faceplate underneath the 120V load center.
With the questionability of the load center's ground connection, it may now be necessary to share some pictures. The ground wiring must be complete from the load center and shore cord to the trailer's frame.
Oh, and I am using a standard multi-meter.
