Sorry for your troubles.
I think someone mentioned it already, But I will suggest a EMS unit (Progressive Industries makes a good one). I had a hard wired one in my last camper, and it was the first thing I put in my new one. It will cut power to save the rig in the event something like this happens in the future. I have not run into issues with miss wiring yet, but have had too low of voltage at older camp grounds.
Yes, my converter was smoked too. It was a cheap one anyway, so I just ordered a new Progressive Dynamics PD9260CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series Converter/Charger with Charge Wizard - 60 Amp to replace it.

Ok, after replacing both of my GFCI receptacles it appears everything works except for the refrigerator. It looks like all outlets ran through the GFCI receptacles first and so they became the sacrificial child. Lucky there, $40 and Iโm back in business for most of the RV. The converter is fine because it was on the buss bar that received no power. So my fridge is the problem. I know I have good power to the fridge receptacle, but the fridge is giving me an error code E3. I get the code regardless if I try LP or 120v. The make is Dometic and the model is RM1350SLMX. I googled E3 code and it talks about a recent button, but I donโt believe this fridge has the reset button I read about. Any ideas how to clear the E3 code or is my circuit board toast?

My question now is what will I need to replace?

"I have a 240 v 50 amp outlet in my RV cover that Iโve used for years to plug my motorhome into" ---- Just how did that work?? 240 motor coach?

I recently bought a 2018 Rockwood 5th wheel with a 50 amp service. I have a 240 v 50 amp outlet in my RV cover that Iโve used for years to plug my motorhome into. Since I still have my motorhome and itโs parked in the RV garage I decided to hook up my 5er temporarily to my 30 amp 240 volt welder outlet. I had no idea that RV 30 amp cords were 120v only. Long story short, after connecting my 30 to 50 adapter I sent 240 volts down one leg of the buss bar. So everything on that side of the bus bar received 240 volts while the other side received zero. My question now is what will I need to replace? My refrigerator, GFCI, rooftop A/C were all on that side. The A/C seems to be working fine, but the fridge isnโt and the GFCI is smoked. Although Iโve wired up many homes, I certainly learned something about RVโa and their wiring today. Iโm hoping just the circuit board on the fridge can be replaced. Anyone else have any experience with this? Iโm sure this canโt be the first time this has happened. Stupid me!!
