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...

I only posted here to share my experience so that it doesn’t happen again to someone else. Unless anyone has any good advice on surge protectors or ways to check for damage, please keep it moving along.
I could care less about the specifics on electricity and being told it was wired wrong. At the end of the day, it was an accident and if I chose the single pole breaker like I initially had, then it would have never happened. The dual pole breaker was wired the same way every other dual pole breaker in the box was wired. People make mistakes which is why I have full coverage insurance to cover damage. If anything, it’s a 2007 model, so I’ll be getting new appliances if any are burned out. So I win either way at this point. I have a new power converter, and new appliances if needed all for an extra $200. Doesn’t bother me a bit I lost on $200. I’ll make $200 in 4 hours in my line of work. So I’m not worried or upset at all. I still have my camper, and everything is insured.
