Did I blow my converter?

I just bought a 1997 Winnebago Adventurer 34RQ. When I built the house I had the electrical install a 30amp service in order to connect to a generator. I connected the mh to the outlet.
The ac worked fine, one unit at the time, the microwave worked, the tv blew up and the refrigerator did not work and showed a warning that the voltage was too high. I checked out the voltage and it was240 volts. I blew the tv out and now the converter does not seem to be working. The house batteries was 12.7 when I plugged my into 15 volt outlet it did not change. Refrig worked ok.
What voltage should a converter put out, was it just happy with the voltage in the bank.
How do I change the garage outlet to be 120 volts. Someone told me to take off the double strap to the 30amp outlet and use one at a time.....that did not work at all .

Check the breakers to see if the one for the converter popped but normally, if 240 got to the converter, it's toast.
Sorry!
