Can we assume the voltage from the RV chassis to earth is the same as the RV chassis to the car port?
There is some difference in the readings between the earth/dirt/mud under the trailer on the one hand and the carport vertical structures (2 1/4" square tubing, mounted on concrete piers sunk 4' into the ground). The readings to the carport are higher.

Also, is the RV tongue jack making a conductive path from the RV chassis to earth or is it sitting on a non conductor?
