Now the fun part:
I have an RV plugged into the shore power at this house. However, the two devices will not sync. But. If I use the 110 outlet next to the 30 amp plug it works fine. As a second test, there is another motorhome plugged into the house power. The adapters will not Sync in the second motorhome.
Now the question is, what happens to the house power when it gets into the RV?
Is the neutral line somehow blocked by the RV electronics?

Well, the powerline adapters use more than the neutral line; they also use the hot lead.
The problem you may be experiencing is probably related to low frequency noise caused by the converter. Open your converter breaker to test that theory.
Any reason you didn't just go with a wireless router? They usually work very well in the small space of an RV.
