Yes I'm a bit disappointed the Watchdog didn't fault. I did have a tripped breaker, and one that was completely off. I didn't check the GFCI outlets yet. I think I may have knocked the breakers removing the panel though, because I've been using that cord the whole time. Replacing it definitely made the hot skin go away.
On a separate note, I actually had 2 breakers off. But one is labeled 3rd AC, which I don't have installed. Probably nothing running off that anyway, right?

Hello, we have a 21g, 2019, and had the same thing happen. It actually tripped the ground fault interrupter in the bathroom. That rendered all of the outlets powerless. Got a good tickle from the frame of one of the cubbies. Grand design found nothing wrong. It only happened once. I was told also to check to make sure of proper ground placement. Is this an issue with generator equipped only trailers?

In generator equipped rigs (the ones with factory installed generators) the ground and neutral are bonded when the transfer switch getting power from the generator.
i think somewhere on this site some folks found that GD failed to bond them. At least I think that was what was wrong on some rigs.
On shore power the bonding of neutral and ground is done at shore power side of things (not in the transfer switch).
If you only got a tingle one time and it was at once pace and GD couldn't find anything wrong, it could have been on the shore power end of things. And that is why you should use a non-contact voltage tester each time you connect to shore power - whether you have and EMS or not.Larry KE4DMG
