We recently purchased a used 2021 Jayco 29 MV. Once home, I plugged it into a 220 receptacle that the surge protector said was reverse polarity. But I can't see how this is the case. Though it may be a leg pulled from a 3 ph here on the farm. The batteries no longer charge. What may be damaged? Are there fuses somewhere?
 
If you really plugged into a 220 outlet, you have likely lost a thing or two inside your RV. You can expect your camper power center converter charger to have suffered some kind of damage. Fuses are for an overload on the output side, not the input side.

Did you get any owners manuals with your vehicle.

220 or 120?
It will not charge from either.

It was 220. And no, I didn't get a manual for it. Just some of the other appliances.
 
Its a little late now for providing this advice but its always best to check ANY shore electrical power outlet that you have never used before with a multimeter before you plug in.
