No Lights inside x17Z

So, we pulled our camper out of winter storage. Had a Breakaway controller replaced on a x17z. Hooked up a fully charged battery and we have no power inside the camper.
Seems that all the Fuses and breakers are okay. Everything is on while hooked up to shore power.
White wire is on negative.

Thoughts?

Is there an in-line fuse right by the battery?

start with a voltmeter at the battery and follow the wires. If you don't have a voltmeter you are wasting your time.

The converter will power all the 12V items when connected to shore power.

Do you have a multimeter? It is a good tool to verify the items noted. you can check both voltage and continuity. If you do not have one, I would recommend picking up a cheap one. I personally like the ones that have an amp meter clamp built in.

A few thoughts regarding your battery. I would double check your fuses, best method is with a multimeter (continuity check). At the main fuse box, there is a reverse polarity fuse make sure it is not blown. At the battery or near it, there is another fuse. Look for it, and verify it is not blown.

Check your ground wire (again continuity check), from the battery to the chassis, it is not uncommon that corrosion sets in or the wire gets ripped off the frame. I like to place a star washer between the Scotchlok and chassis to ensure a good bite into the metal.

How do you know your battery is fully charged and holding a charge (voltage check)?

Do you have a battery disconnect switch? Double check that the switch it is thrown the correct way (voltage check).
