So the GMC is plugged in, AC is blasting. I crawl under to look at something and when my shoulder completes the path to ground from the chrome bumper i get a pretty serious jolt (i sometimes work on household circuits live, this was a serious jolt)

So it meters 30VAC from the bumper to ground.

THis is going though the generator circuit. THis coach has a bayonet plug into the generator. I have a long RV cord with the bayonet female so i was using that. Inside the transfer switch does its job and the GEN light comes on and all the AC stuff is normal.
