Hopefully. the converter is all that you lose from the incorrect connection you attempted to make/made. (still cannot understand how you got the ground pin into the neutral slot)
If you will reread all of the previous posts from everyone, including links, you should be able to educate yourself on how to never allow this to happen again.
It's painful, and we do understand. It happens, and you just have to get it fixed and try to move on past it. Being painfully honest, I would let an experienced RV tech replace this converter, and maybe not attempt it yourself.
Also explained previously, are things you may need to keep an eye on....as they could give up the ghost in the near future from the 240 volt episode.

Well, this is getting somewhat frustrating then. If you cannot give accurate information, you cannot get accurate replies.
You have to help us help you.
If you thought the outlets were the same, then this does show how inexperienced you may be in electrical terms. I definitely and double down now on the advise of letting an experienced RV tech work on this RV.

Who wired this outlet you NOW have changed to? Where is the circuit breaker to it in the home panel? Is it single pole or double pole circuit breaker (please don't guess). That appears to be a brand new installation.
Reread the second part of my post #33, which explains what has probably happened with this installation you are now showing, and it's still incorrectly wired for 240 volts.

Please post a photo of the breaker (in the breaker box) that controls this outlet.

You need to test the outlet. If you have 240 volts across the two slots, it's wired incorrectly.
TT-30R The voltage between the Hot lead at 7 o'clock and W 120-volt, Hot lead and G 120-volt, W and G 0-volt

Do you ever feel like some people are intentionally being obtuse?
There have been a rash of threads lately where someone asks a question and then gives back 1/2 answers, misleading answers, and in this case, made up pictures. Between this post and the toy hauler sway guy- something smells fishy.

Make sure your surge protector is really an EMS and always use it. Always, always, ALWAYS. An EMS would not have allowed power into this rig and would have showed an error that would have prevented damage to anything.
See this:

For the OP- my apologies for my last comment. You, too, should invest in an EMS.

Reviewing your previous posts, you stated the above.
No matter which pic you were supposed to have posted, this would be wrong if BOTH "slanted plugs" have 120 volts when measured separately.
This would indicate you have 240 volts.
