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...

The wiring job was fine. It was wired properly for 220v.
We'll have to disagree on that! The TT 30A receptacle is not made made to be wired for 220v so it was wired incorrectly.

"The TT–30 is a 30A, 120-volt recreational vehicle standard sometime it is called simply RV 30. Frequently it is confused for a NEMA 10–30 (see below) with disastrous results. Due to the appearance of the TT-30 plug, many people assume that it is to be wired for 240-volt, but this is a 120-volt device."
Again.. it was wired for 220v indoor appliances using a dual pole breaker. That has nothing to do with the recepticle . If we knew it required 110v , we would have went with the single pole which has a different wiring diagram.
As previously stated, if you have no advice on surge protectors or ways I can checkk for damaged appliances I respectfully ask you to please mind your own business and stop telling me it was wired wrong. I know what caused the issue and it won’t happen again in the future .
