[QUOTE="binky, post: 522648, member: 490"] this sounds fairly normal, so add in a few mA from other appliancs in the caravan, and times that by 20 pitches and you can see how earth leakge can accumulate rapidly. Jiggling test leads can cause false readings, if the earth wire is bare copper and you touch it, you just discharged any static from your clothing. If you can't get a repeat reading, it's usually non-sense - it's the sort of thing that experience teaches. [/QUOTE]
