New Guy-Electrical Issue

Hello new to forum.  Wife and I have 06 Carri-Lite Bought of original owner.   I’m here to find information on wiring schematics. On two different occasions I have received a “tingle” when touching metal step and frame around basement storage.  Need to solve before I can use RV

 

This Topic should have been kept on Subject of New Member Introduction. It is being moved to the correct forum for “Electrical Components”. It will get more and better responses when in the correct forum.

ER,

if it happens at all shore power locations, sounds like someone bonded the 120 VAC shore power neutral to ground, either in main panel, transfer switch box (if you have one), or inverter, (if you have one).  The bonding is only supposed to be back at shore power’s source panel.  The tingle is most noticed if stabilizers or big foots are on wood/other instead of earth.  Just cut the unwanted bonding connection wire.

if it happens in just one or a few shore power locations, those locations could have the ground and neutral wires incorrectly/inadequately  connected or swapped.  This happens more often than you would think.
