Excellent blog with some great in depth articles on RV electrical safety.

Holy mackerel Ray! I never realized how easy a ”hot skin” condition can occur, esp due to a faulty shore power pedestal. I didn’t catch the tester he was using on this YouTube.
Every RVer should see this.
Thanks for posting the video George. Mike does a great job of explaining RV electrical. It was from him I was made aware of this possible fault. Even my Surge Protector doesn’t protect from it. The tester he uses is called a Non Contact Voltage Tester. I discussed it in a recent post – http://www.loveyourrv.com/update-to-progressive-industries-ems-hw30c-surge-protector-review/
I have one I use in my electronics repair business and check the campground pedestals with it. So far after 200+ campsites tested, zero had the faulty condition to cause a hot skin effect so I imagine it is quite rare, especially in modern campgrounds, but still something to be mindful of.Ray - Love Your RV!Thanks Ray, got it.
Ray, You saved my life again!! Well, maybe. Picked up a hot skin at Grand Sierra Resort RV Park in Reno.
Oh, wow, really! Glad you caught it.
Ray - Love Your RV!Just remember to carry it in your pocket and use it all the time..-:)
