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...

how can a 30 amp rv plug fit into a 220 outlet? I have never seen one that fits.
Lots of ignorance on this issue. Take a look at your 220V electric dryer outlet if you don't know how a 30A RV plug can fit into a 220 outlet.
Do you really think I’m stupid enough to force a plug into a socket that doesn’t fit ? I’m not that ignorant. It was an honest mistake that the guy sold me the wrong breaker
I was told by two different people I need a single pole 30amp breaker. Not a dual. It was wired up as of it was going to be set up for indoor appliances which is what the dual pole breakers are mainly used for. A single pole breaker should cut the voltage in half to 110v. The wire ran from the dual pole breaker directly to 30amp RV outlet . There may have been a way to wire the dual pole breaker to only put out 110v but it’s a bit too late now.
