last summer I plugged in my 110 trailer eletrcial plug into a 220 service. In my defense, the 110 plug looks like a 220 pig tail...I didn't know it wasn't a 220...anyway I fried the mini fridge and the antenna box that you plug your coaxial cable into from the TV for antenna power. We replaced the box and the TV reception had lots of interference- bad sound and lines. So I replaced the antenna head itself and still bad reception. I tried a different TV, one that works and still bad sound,poor picture and lines running through it. I don't know what to fix now. Any suggestions?

isn't that the white thingy that looks like an outlet where you hook your coaxial cable into? if so, we already replaced that. yes it was fried, melted plastic and soot.

OH BOY... I sure hate that you had that kinda luck... The converter is the main circuit box that has all your breakers and 12 v fuses. It is what converts 110 v down to 12 v and charges the batteries on your trailer. If you ran 220 v through your system PLEASE take your trailer to an RV service center and have them check all your wiring to make sure you don't have a short any where. Your converter should have caught everything but if you had a fried wall plate then it sounds like it didn't. This could be a fire hazard...Please DO NOT sleep in this trailer without a working CO and Smoke Detector.. If there is a Certified LQ conversion company close to you they should have tester to check your wiring as well.
