EDIT: Check the electric element on your WH if it was on. Also check anything that runs off of a wall wart. Might have fried the wall wart itself.
Right now the converter is disconnected . There isn’t any way to check for power without the converter right ?
Like.. does the converter power all the electronics ? Can I plug the camper into the 110v outdoor socket without the converter connected ? What does the converter do aside from charge the battery ?

please tell me that the "someone" was not an electrician. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/scratchead.gif "scratchead") A real electrician should know the difference between an RV trailer 30 amp 120v plug and a 220 30 amp outlet. wowza
Hope not too much is messed up on the camper. good luck. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

Lots of ignorance on this issue. Take a look at your 220V electric dryer outlet if you don't know how a 30A RV plug can fit into a 220 outlet.....if you have an older house ....

He knows how to run wire and outlets . He just didn’t know campers were 110v. The guy At Lowe’s didn’t know either because he sold me the dual pole breaker . ?????

Did you not read the original post? It was a 30amp camper RV outlet ran to a 240v 30amp breaker . The only ignorance is the guy at Lowe’s sold me the wrong breaker .

Do you really think I’m stupid enough to force a plug into a socket that doesn’t fit ? I’m not that ignorant. It was an honest mistake that the guy sold me the wrong breaker

The converter converts 110 to 12 volt so it charges the battery when plugged into shore power but also powers all the 12 volt things, lights, water pump, circuit board for thermostat, refrigerator, hot water heater, etc.

Done is done. Glad to hear all is getting back together. May want to get out for a weekend and double check everything before you send all the receipts in for the claim.
Is it too soon to suggest an EMS protection device?
We seem to find a campground with issues every year.
