DC circuitry in an RV

OK, I know I'm a rube. Cut me some slack. :)

To the battery, ya' got your white wire and your black wire. If my logic is correct, as opposed to AC, the white wire connects to positive and the black wire to neg. So far so good?

My further problem is that yesterday morning, in the midst of a thunderstorm, shore power was lost. That's when I discovered that I have no DC. I have 2 batteries that I maintain regularly, but only one connected to the rig at a time. They measure respectively 12.84 and 13.11 DCV. I connected both in turn. Zip, zero, zilch coming in. And yes, I pulled every single fuse and cycled every breaker. Continuity checks out across the board. With AC connected, everything works.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help
