check the electric ground to earth potential at the outlet the 5vr is plugged into
you might find zero volts
if so your situation is as stated in a previous post
capacitance effect, long cord, wires in rv, rv isolated from earth ground
My electrical problem occurs whether the trailer is attached to shore power or not. Is it possible that the extension cord or the outlet is the problem? I would not think so, but then I'm an electrical novice so my vote doesn't count for much.
Just makes sense to me that if there is electricity on the trailer skin, and the trailer is NOT attached in any way to shore power, then there's nothing on the shore power side of the house causing the problem.
