lawrosa,
The main breaker has nothing to do with the breaker the converter is on. Badly wired rv's may not have a separate breaker for the converter. If that is the case, it is possible to add a switch in the 120 volt feed to the converter.

Yes I have a main breaker too. But that main breaker will cut off all power to the converter with watever is plugged to the TT 30 amp cord.
So what breaker does your converter have that mine does not? What are you turning off?
