Is this a 50 amp rig?
Do yo have a volt meter to check the outlets with? That would be the first place to start because the only way they can damage something is to apply excessive voltage to it.
Yeah the outlets read good at 110-117 Volts
Everyone seems to have ignored this post.
The OP's voltages are OK so no open neutral or anything else.
I suspect the rig was hit by a surge of some sort which damaged those items.
What ever the case it looks to be OK now.
That doesn't mean there isn't an open or high resistance connection in the neutral. You could remove the neutral from the service and if the loads were balanced on each leg you would read the proper voltage at the outlets. If his reading of 110-117 were taken with loads fairly balanced or even no loads then the neutral problem wouldn't be apparent.
A high resistance in the neutral connection wouldn't show up when using a volt meter if there was no load.
