The problem you are experiencing is known as “Hot Skin” when you get shocked by touching metal on the inside and outside of your RV. Depending on the cause this condition can cause a dangerous life threatening electrical shock and should be fixed immediately.
These electrical shocks can be caused by a reversed polarity problem in the electric receptacle that your RV is plugged into, a polarity problem in the extension cord you are using to plug in your RV or to a shorted wire somewhere in your RV’s electrical system.
This problem can also be caused by an improper ground in the receptacle, extension cord or in the RV.

If you have a tester like this, wrap your hand around it and with both feet on the ground, touch it to the side of the
coach. If it lights up, you have a problem. People have been killed by this.
Un plug from shore power and test again.

Thanks for those who gave areas to look at to trouble shoot it and possible fix it if those areas are needing repair.
Will dig into it this week. Not a 911 right now as we have access to a refridge/freezer to use while I figure out our next steps.
Jeff is recommending a nice GE with a bottom drawer freezer/french door fridge that I am sure would be more usable then the current layout. Would also bring a little more light into the area being stainless.

Chuck,
That’s interesting my parts manual says part #130615 and is 26 1/2″ C/C?? I definitely need to call Prevost.
Thanks again.
