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...

We buy insurance specifically to pay for our phuk ups. That's why we buy insurance. OP phuked up, so, his insurance is paying for it. That's fine. When I first bought my RV I tried driving it into my back yard through my gate that would barely fit. Ground was soft and I didn't want to get stuck so I just "went for it". Ripped the awning off and smashed out the cabin door window. My phuk up, but I had my insurance pay for it. That's why I have insurance - to save me from my and other people's phuk ups.
Also I did something like OP did. My Dad and I were wiring an RV receptacle into my garage for use with the RV in the driveway. My DAD, a "handyman", put two hots to the receptacle, also giving me 240V. We plugged in and while it did no immediate damage I believe this may be what caused a later failure of the control board in the water heater and the refrigerator.
Anyway, we all phuk up from time to time.
Thank you. Sh*t happens... why be rude on an online forum when I'm just asking for advice...
