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.
I agree. It wasn’t the under paid, under trained clerk at Lowe’s job to design your circuit.
I’ve heard of many miswiring stories around 30a wiring. It resembles the old three wire 220 receps used for small welders and it looks similar. So it’s assumed they’re 220 and wired as such.
And I’m glad you have insurance.
The untrained clerk was apparently doing the same set up st his house. I originally picked the single pole breaker and he advised to get the dual pole. So yes, I am blaming the Lowe’s employee. Had I just got the single pole, I would have been fine. We didn’t know the camper needed 110v until after it was fried. Otherwise, I would have never plugged it in. We knew there was 220v coming out because we tested. But it’s a bit too late to stress about it now .
