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...

It can not be wired correct for 220v.
Wired Wrong, not cuz it has 2 breakers cuz someone can't see the markings on the receptacle for w/white (neutral) and g/green ('ground').
You want to blame it on 2 breakers while its the other end that is wired WRONG. The other end is color coded!!!

Please refer to this page.
"A 3-wire, 240-volt circuit has two hot wires—each supplying 120 volts for a total of 240—and an equipment ground wire. A 120-volt circuit has only one hot wire connected to the breaker plus a neutral wire connected to the neutral bus bar in the service panel."
You should not use a dual pole breaker for camper/RV setups by default. You should use a single pole 110/120v breaker. Had I had the correct breaker, it would have been fine. It was not the wiring.
Technically, if you wire a 240v dual pole to only put out 110/120v, it will fail inspection.
Keep it moving along.
