JOe, I think you may have posted this in several forums here, That is not needed, Just one post to an original question works beter.
From the sounds of it your RV took an over-voltage hit. It may have been an open neutral.. Many folks plug into a 30 or 50 amp outlet in a shop only to find that those outlets are often 240 volts. your rig is designed for 120-0-120 volts..
If the neutral wire opens for any reason, or if you use the safety ground as the neutral (It is often 12ga where the other wires may be 8ag) you can wind up with a serious over-voltage issue on one or the other leg of your motor home
This can fry the power supplies in electroincs, overheat your converter (you are lucky it survived) and other wise cause damage up to and including a call to the fire deartment.
