TTitans1......I read and reread your post several times and it didn't make sense. It wasn't until I started to type a response it dawned on me what you're talking about. You're calling your Shoreline TRANSFER SWITCH a power converter. The terminology you used threw me off.
What you had happen isn't unusual. Many RV plugs are wired with 220volt by electricians who aren't familiar with RV wiring. The good news is....it sounds like they only ruined your transfer switch and didn't fry anything past that.
You said when you have tripped a breaker in the past, you didn't recall the inverter taking over. Inverters are usually turned on and off as needed. When you turned yours on and everything had power, that was the indication that nothing suffered damage inside the coach.
