One evening there was a thunderstorm rolling thru, so I asked my daughter to go close the doors and windows. I found her unconscious on the ground at the steps to the camper after she had not come back.
Wet feet, wet steel steps, and a hand to the door knob completing the circuit, knocked her into last century. It took an hour and a hospital emergency room visit to get her back to relatively ok. Another few days to get over the muscle soreness.
We had a camper that would shock me when I was underneath fixing water pipes, I was sweating and touched the frame with my arm. I took a pair of jumper cables and a 3 ft piece of rebar and clamped it to the frame and the rod which was about 2 ft in the ground, never had another problem. Also I deliver the mail, one box was just below their porch light on a trailer. When it rained I would get a buzz when I put the mail in the metal box.
We bought an Airstream, 1964, that had been renovated. The previous owner did the work and he reversed the hot and neutral-ground. We had used it for two seasons and I remembered feeling a tingle when stepping off the last step out of the camper, but I wrote it off to the impact to the soil.
