1) One cord only connected to RV
2)With all circuit breakers open check that step for voltage. If you have voltage on the step with all breakers open, the shore cord may be leaking voltage.
3)Make sure water heater and fridge are turned off. Unplug converter, if possible.
4) Reset breakers one at a time and measure voltage one breaker "on", one at a time at that step where you measured 20V previously. Turn devices on one at a time measuring after each one, for voltage at the step.
If the 15 amp breaker is the source of the voltage on the step, you will have to puzzle out what it is powering and where either a heating element (Like fridge or water heater) has failed, the converter is outputting AC, or a loose wire exists. The RV receptacles are infamous for frayed or parted wires. I would start, with power off to the receptacles, at the receptacle closest to the power center and move outward.
