Warwick Woods CG in St Peter's PA. Off of Rt 23 outside Pottstown PA
UPDATE:
I want to get to the bottom of this issue. Is it my new 5er? The shore power cord? The extension cord? The 50a to 30a pigtail? The pedestal? The CG Wiring?
While doing research on this I ran across a gentleman, Mike Sokol, who seems to be well known as an expert in RV power. He runs a website
www.noshockzone.org I went to his site, saw his email address on a post and took a shot at emailing him with this issue. Well, he responded within 12 hrs!! His response is noted below. I emailed the CG immediately. I still picked up a multimeter at Lowe's last night and am going to check my shore cord, extension cord, and pigtail cord (all of which are brand new).
Mike Sokol's response:
I believe you’re experiencing an interesting phenomenon I’ve named a reflected hot skin condition. This occurs at a campground where there’s the loss of a EGC Ground Connection between one of the pedestals and the service entrance box ground bonding point. If any other RV in that loops has any ground leakage from a line-to-chassis fault, then their own RV as well as ALL other RVs in that loop will have their own ground voltages elevated as well. The dangerous thing is that this hot-skin voltage can go all the way to 120 volts with potentially deadly currents that can electrocute anyone who touches the RV and the ground at the same time. So the campground needs to immediately have all their pedestals checked for ground continuity using something called a Ground Impedance Tester, such as an Amprobe INSP-3 or Ideal SureTest Analyzer. Please have the campground contact me for details before someone gets injured or killed.
