We had a professional RV Heating & Cooling company come out and install a second A/C unit in the bedroom of our 2023 Transend Xplor 231RK Travel Trailer. Unfortunately, this was not prewired as it apparently is in some models, but he used the power source from the ceiling outlet where the TV would go, A few days later, I climbed under the unit to tighten something and I got shocked when I touched an aluminum bracket. I asked the A/C man to come back out and check his work, which all seemed to be fine, and after checking several things in the trailer, he determined that the line between the shore line connection and the breaker box must have been breached at some point, because even with the Main Breaker off, we still had "Hot Skin". Typically between 30 to 45 amps everywhere on the outside of the camper. I have read extensively about this problem and its causes, and I have tried virtually everything I could think of, including installing a new main power receptacle connected to the existing breaker box in the trailer, checked all the wires between the house breaker box and the shore line outlet, put a new male end on the extension cord, unhooked the positive terminal to the battery, but nothing seems to change. And the really perplexing part is that even with the main breaker in the camper in the off position, the outside skin, screws, windows, etc. are still going beep, beep with a Non-Contact voltage tester.
If anybody has any advice, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance,
