Rick,
There could be a loose ground connection that would explain your hot-skin, but there's always the possibility of an RPBG in any "upgraded" pedestal using old wiring. Sadly, most electricians and inspectors don't even know that an Reverse Polarity Bootleg Grounded outlet can exist, let alone how to test for one. Note that a 3-light outlet tester CANNOT detect an RPBG outlet, nor will a voltmeter detect an RPBG using the standard H-N, H-G and G-N voltage tests. You need an external ground reference to find one, such as a Klein or Fluke Non Contact Voltage Tester (NCVT).
Please go back to the original pedestal you were plugged into and test for an RPBG outlet using your Klein voltage tester. Watch my video on how to test for an RPBG's at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLk-6pvSlWg and here's the article I wrote about it for The RV Doctor at http://www.rvdoctor.com/2001/07/friends-of-gary-mike.html
