I would avoid using the 120 volt RV system until the neutral bus bar is replaced and the wiring cleaned up properly. Run an extension cord into the RV and plug your fan into that directly.
Most likely the root cause was a loose, and so high resistance, connection to the bus bar. It is a good idea to check that everything is properly snug every now and again; things can tend to vibrate loose over time. It is good you caught it before anything more serious happened.
I always watch for Drew's replies on stuff like this. Good electrician and thoughtful guy.
Very possible that a connection on that neutral bus wasn't tight. Then got hot, toasted the screw, now you can't tighten the screw even if you try to.
Good job with the pix, Ryan!
