Westend-
I apologize, the converter smoked while electrician was trying to hook the the trailer up at my mother in law house. We visited my mother in law for vacation, she lives 6 hours away. We are back home now. I did not have a battery but will purchasing one today. Hoping electrician will make it today. Thank you for the advice, I will have converter checked before disposing of it.
Most likely you have a 30A rig and the electrician connected it to 240V. He should pay for replacement of all damaged equipment which can include TVs etc.
You need either a battery and charger (of some kind) or just a charger.
Most of the rig requires 12V for the appliances to work. This can include but is not limited to lights, water, refer, HW, AC, furnace, etc. Some of these may/may not require 12V. Yes the refer, HW and AC may require 12V for the controls.
X2 on the electrician paying if at fault. That's what their insurance is for. If the damage is extensive first see if the electrician will cooperate (if at fault). If no cooperation, contact an attorney who will contact the electrician's insurance carrier, assuming insurance is in place.
