Based on what you have told us.
You get shocked when not plugged into shore power.
I would suspect 1 of two things.
1) You are actually getting shocked by DC. Maybe a bad frame ground. Yes, it is possible to get a shock from 12VDC when you are near water. Used to happen with my '65 dodge all the time :)
2) Do you have a inverter wired into the circuit? If that were left turned on while you were unplugged from shore power, perhaps it is placing a charge on the trailer skin.
That is about all I can think of.
