What the OP need is a 4,000 VA (Volt Amp) transformer, which will restrict him to 30 Amp service. These are fairly large and heavy. We see a few European RVs while traveling in Mexico. This is what they use. OR they just get a 120V battery charger and don't use any 240V appliances. Note that European TVs won't work in North America. They use a slightly different process for the picture. Or at least they used to.
Also many if not most European RVs don't have a direct connection for the black tank. They use a cartridge system which is removed to empty.
A final comment on AC power, which I think has already been mentioned, European alternating current us 50Hz not 60 that we use. This can cause problems with some items especially motors which may run slow.
And of course if it's British rig, everything is on the wrong side.
