When we used the dogbone adapter to hook up our trailer there was a burning smell and no AC power to the system. That is when I found the miswired outlet. I now see the value in the outlet checkers. 
Everything seems to run OK when the generator is started so I am hoping that the damage was limited to the transfer switch (There isn't a power conditioner of any type from the factory, Right?)
Thinking that replacing the transfer switch will be all I need to do. Any suggestions?

If I understand you correctly, there was 120V on your neutral L1 and 120V on L2 giving you 230V. My thoughts are as you think and hopefully it is the transfer switch coil burned up. You will need to verify that the receptacle has the ground wire hooked up correctly, at the main panel the L1 wire will need to be connected to the neutral buss and removed from the 2 pole breaker it's attached to. The L2 wire needs to be on a single pole 30amp breaker.
