Most of the time it's safe. But there's one dangerous miswiring condition that a Surge Protector can't warn you about or disconnect you from. I've named it a Reverse Polarity Bootleg Ground (RPBG)...
Mike, since this hot skin can happen anytime from conditions at another rv, how about a warning light setup. I'm thinking a tent stake or screwdriver in the ground. Then a wire with a low voltage light running from there to the rv skin, rv ground.
Thanks Mike. It’s always great to be reminded about reversed polarity bootleg grounds. They are even more insidious and dangerous because they are uncommon and so easy to forget to check for them. You provide such great info to our community!

Would that work to indicate hot skin condition?
