Preparing RV for trip to Europe

We are planning a trip to Europe and are hoping to ship our truck (2008 Dodge RAM 3500) + truck camper (2014 Livin Lite Camplite 8.6c) from the US to Europe. Ideally, we'll be there for a few years to discover Europe and possibly Asia, so we are looking at the overall cost of shipping our rv vs. buying one in Europe. (I grew up in Belgium and have dual citizenship)

Since our RV is 110V 30AMP, I'm wondering what we need to do to prepare for Europe's 220V. Do converters exist that drop 220V down to 110V which will allow us to plugin the RV on campgrounds?

Additionally, our RV has two propane tanks. Traveling in Mexico and Central America proved no issue in filling up the tanks when needed; however, it appears that the European connectors are different from what we have here in the US. Does someone know what is needed to take with me to Europe that will allow us to fill the propane tanks at local stations?

Thanks!
