First there is no such thing as a 110 to 30 adapter. 30 amps is 110-120 volts.
What you were using was, depending on your point of view a 30-15 amp adapter or a 15-30. BOth ends are the same voltage 120.
Now, the outlet you plugged into.. Was that for a Dryer, or some power tool originally>
If so it was likely a 240 volt outlet and you fried everything.
Oops. To clarify, we went from a 110v outlet plug, to an adapter that our 30 amp prong coming out of the trailer could connect to. This was given to us (my wife and I) from the initial owner who used it to plug the trailer into a standard wall outlet.
I'm thinking that you're right about the outlet we plugged into with this new cable, it is a power tool outlet, but it might be sending out 240 volts... Can this be converted to the proper voltage?
