Brocneal,
One would have to be really old and have a strange history to know about this, but there were (in those days of yore) some converter chargers that had a strange thing going. Because voltage regulation was real expensive and charging batteries was important some converter chargers (I do not recall brands or models) had two sections.
One section charged batteries at a voltage that would blow out 12V bulbs.
The other section provided just over 12V to the lighting circuits when the converter was fed AC power.
It sounds like you lost that later half. This usually had a relay and a fuse and the reverse battery could have done in either or both.
I do not know your coach, so I cannot tell you where to look for it. If true to form, there will be a receptacle in the power area with a single plug in it. Follow that cord.
If you were in striking range, I would come and help you find it.

So basically like someone else said, it could just be a bad fuse on the converter? I haven't had time to go look for it and find it but I'm hoping to tonight. What you're saying would definitely make sense. Thank you!
