It sounds like there was a problem with the neutral wire to the BIL's outlet and they were getting 240v through a line that should have been 120v. If one of the hot wires was swapped with the neutral wire, you would get 240v through 1/2 of the RV's circuits, and 120v reverse polarity through the other 1/2 of the RV's circuits. That is exactly what it sounds like happened to me. The reverse polarity would not have caused a problem, but the 240v would have burned out whatever was on that circuit, leaving the items on the other circuit untouched.
I agree since some items worked, or are still working, and other items fried.
Do not replace anything until the wiring is fixed...
Oh and invest in a Progressive Industries
