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. ...

Rewire no! check connections.
Can you open the electrical panel and post a photo?
If the panel is new, there could be a main bonding screw installed at the factory that needs to be removed for RV application. It is normally a green colored screw that goes through the neutral buss into the metal housing.
Did you run the shore power cable to a 30 amp breaker or attach it to the buss work?
I don't know if you've read the previous posts, but I have been working with people on this for two days. Here's what's up:
I am running shore-power to the cable that comes out of the side of the camper and runs straight into the breaker box. Inside the panel (which is original, and the wiring, although likely not original, may or may not be new), I can see where the black ground wire goes to a screw with a square housing. It's connected well, as are all the other wires. I will post a picture in a minute. Will take a few minutes to go through the process, of course. I have checked the ground wire under the truck. Two wires connected well to the frame. The breakers are a 15A service that runs all the outlets, and a 20A AC service.
I think it is significant, although nobody has answered this issue, that I get progressively more leakage as appliances are added, of course, when I am hooked to shore-power, but when I run the generator, as I add the appliances nothing changes. But it still leaking 20V consistently.
Photo file to come...
