If you touch a metal part on the outside of your RV and get shocked, is that a problem? What if it’s only a tingle?

Yes, any stray voltage condition is potentially dangerous – even life-threatening! This is commonly known in the RV industry as a “hot skin” condition. It occurs when the RV is improperly grounded and stray currents have energized the chassis.

Understanding a hot skin condition takes a little mental effort. But it’s worth your while. Teeny amounts of current are sufficient to kill a human. Hot skins can be fixed, and often fixed quickly. Keep you, your family, your pets, and your neighbors safe!
