Hey guys, first of all sorry for my broken English, it's not my first language. I am camping at the moment with my pickup and a rooftop tent and just realised that every time I touch the car or any metal parts I get shocked. A multimeter between car and earth shows 90-120 volts ac. All my accessories in the car like Solar Panel and fridge work under 12 Volt Dc, no inverters or anything. Is it possible that this I caused by my rooftop tent and its annexe (usual tent material) which is hanging down on one side and maybe rubbing on the car causing electrostatic shocks? When u touch any metal parts of the car with the upside of your hand you can feel the metal slightly vibrating, as soon as I connect a wire from and earded pole to the chassis that vibration stops, and when I take the wire away the vibration comes back straight away and you might get shocked as well. Any ideas what it could be? As i said i only work 12 Volt Accessoires on it, no connection to any power plug
