Note: A class C normally does NOT have a "jack".
Unless it is for leveling purposes.

I,ll pass that on,she,ll be home monday night, I,ll clean things up.

It could be the jack is getting the ground connection through the mounting bolts. You may need to take jack loose, clean the paint off the jack location and remount it.
If she has a couple wrenches, tightening maybe sufficient.

not connected to shore power,, see,s sparks at the base where the three bolts mount jack to trailer, no pics.she says when she powers the up switch it arch,s at that base. but it still works. when gets home I,ll look it over.

All DC motors spark between the brushes and the commutator. This is INSIDE the motor and is normal and safe.

If yes, disconnect and check again as it could be a broken ground in shore power cord.
