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...

If the electrician bothered to actually look at the receptacle, it is clearly marked as to how it is to be wired. It is the electrician's fault.
exactly! My question is, what did they do with the 2nd 120V leg? Did they twist them together and put it on the 1 hot leg of the 30 amp outlet? There are only 3 wire locations on the outlet, the hot, the neutral and the ground. What did they do with the other hot wire? I guess they didn't have a neutral or a ground and just made them both hot 120v legs. wow.
Yep, they usually connect the RV 30amp outlet's hot and neutral to each leg of the 220 breaker and just ground the ground wire leaving no real neutral connection.
