Power Converter

[mik3yc4]

My parents have a 2005 Laredo 5th wheel parked at my house for their visits here. I wired a 30 amp plug from my house for the RV. Now usually I am pretty handy with figuring things out, but I am not an electrician. I wired the plug 220v. This was a problem! I have destroyed everything that was plugged into an outlet in the RV; TV, stereo, microwave, alarm clock, ect. The battery no longer charges. I figure that I have killed the converter as well. I need to know where that converter is to get a part number to determine replacement costs. Hopefully there is help on the way

It's going to be in close proximity to the water heater and furnace, usually. It's the device with the circuit breakers and fuses in it.

I'd look under the stove or fridge area, that seems to be were most are.

Don't feel too bad miss wiring the outlet is a common thing even by electricians. Another good example of why it pays to have a decent Surge Protector wired into the rig.
