So I think you are right. I just disconnected the battery and shore power. As a test I walked back and forth with my shoes and after touching the faucet got shocked. Took shoes off and no shock. So it seems that it is static. It can't be hot skin or any other electrical issue if the battery and power are disconnected. Is there any other source of power that might cause something like this?

Sorry for the rapid fire updates. Grand Design contacted my dealer and they want them to look it over. According to Grand Design it should not be constantly causing static discharge. So off to the dealer it goes.

I would suggest getting a hot skin test done on it. There are several you tube videos on how to do this and here is just one of those videos.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8h64X33aKg

So my dealer stated they can not reproduce the issue. I am heading down there tomorrow to show them what's going on. Several folks have mentioned they have never had any static shock in their RV. I am really wondering what the issue is and I am concerned that its something that can't be fixed or will not be root caused. Anyway I hope the trip to the dealer tomorrow produces some result.

Just came back from the dealer with 5th wheel in tow. It is static and its related to my shoes. They could not recreate the issue at all. I get in there with my shoes and I get shocked. If I walk back and forth in the living area others that touch the faucet or any metal in the camper will get shocked. We tested a brand new Reflection they just received today. I walked back and forth in that one, and I get a shock. The flooring material and my shoes must be very conductive to each other, but it clearly is not an issue with the electrical in our rig. Its an issue with my cheap New Balance shoes.
