You need to sort this out a bit.
1. You said "everything else still works (lights, outlets, microwave, tv) on dc"
There are 2 systems in the camper. AC and DC. Microwave, A/C, 120V outlets, and the power converter are powered by the shore power cable. The fridge has a 120V mode but should be OK if it wasn't on.
The lights, fans, gas appliances run on the DC. There are two sources for DC, the battery and the power converter.
2. When not plugged in, are the water heater, fridge, furnace, CO detector, water pump, and lights working?
With the camper plugged in, you will need to measure the voltage at the battery. If it is about 13.4V, the converter is still working. If it is 12.x or less you may have damaged it.
3. You said "it didnt move to "ac connected".
What didn't move? Sounds like you are talking about a control panel display.
If everything is actually working on both AC and DC systems then maybe all you zapped was the control panel display.
