Accidentally plugged into 220v
So yes I made a mistake and wired the RV outlet into a 240v dual pole breaker at the house . The converter is toast . I have a keystone Laredo fifth wheel . I took the tv and microwave out and test...

Previous owner did that to my rig 6 years ago. Lost microwave, both TVs, video switcher, couple of alarm clocks. Converter survived as did the fridge and water heater. A/Cs were off so no issue there. If the fridge was off, or not actively cooling at the time, it will be OK. Same for the water heater. If it was not actively heating water it will be OK.
I installed a Progressive Industries EMS which verifies that the power is good before it connects it to the coach. It is an investment well worth the money. It also will disconnect power if the voltage gets too low where it might damage your A/C or anything else with a motor. Seems like every summer we run into a campground that has questionable power that the EMS protects us from.
That makes me feel a little better. I think I’m gonna be okay.
