You are at risk of electric shock from the body of the motorhome to the earth (our planet).
The only proper way to fix this is to properly wire a 3 hole outlet and possibly add a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Recepticles only cost about 50 cents. It's the house wiring that will be expensive to upgrade.
