the hot and neutral are bonded at the service panel, effectively being one wire, when everything is tight and connections good
when some connection becomes loosen,
you start getting hot frame/tt ground problems

and connect a cable and clamp to it
clamp the cable to the TT when you park it
100% earth ground for the TT, no more tingles
