RV electric power, half not working
I used my outside 110V recepticle for a small pressure washer and it tripped the power off. Now only half of the travel trailers 110V power works. I have checked the 110V breakers and none are tripped...

May or may not make a difference but the red cable on your multi meter should go in the smaller slot in the receptacle, this is the black hot wire, can't tell if it is correct in the picture. Sometimes if cables are backwards this will give false voltage readings.
Since I didn't know if it mattered, I tried both ways. When the leads are reversed, the reading would be -191 (minus). Tried it in the house the same way, got 117V. For that matter, the only GFCI I can find in the TT measured 107V.
The others only measure 191V some of the time though. Usually, they measured zero. All the 12V stuff "seems" fine. Batteries get charged, pump and furnace work etc.
Does the converter do anything with the AC power coming in, or just pass it through and distribute?
