Iota ILC-3045 load center/power converter
This past weekend we pulled our 5th wheel to a buddy's cabin. He had wired up a 30 amp plug in for us at his place. I went to plug in my camper and heard a big electrical sound buzz sound. I unplugged...

Hope your Buddy's Cabin has some insurance... The Converter/charger will most likely not be the only circuit fried. Several other items are always 'ON'...
This is a typical RV PEDESTAL wiring setup for both RV50A and RV30A service..

Sorry for your loses but this happens all the time when Family and Friends want to help out and don't understand why RV's are different than Houses... Having this happen to you from a licensed and bonded Electrician would be covered by their Insurance... With Family and Friends we know who will get to pay this bill...
Several items have sensors boards that are wired to the 120VAC lines like the Microwave-Fridge-Home Entertainment- etc Depending what demand state the Hot Water heater was is another possibility for failure. All of this will add up money wise in a big hurry...
I'm always worried even plugging into the Camp Ground Pedestals but since these are used everyday by someone you are probably in good shape not checking first... About all I have ever caught at a campground is low voltages...
New Wiring etc I will always grab my multimeter and check first...
