Follow the hose from the water faucet (battery). The sprinkler is not getting water. (the slide and/or other circuits. You must unplug from shoreline or you will get tricked. If you are plugged into the vehicle that should be disconnected too. Using a pressure guage (voltmeter), simply start at the battery. While there make sure the negative terminal is actually going to ground. Forget about colors on wires because electrons are color blind and RV's do misleading things. As you are poking around the batteries and making sure you did not install them backwards (never happens), look for a wire you may have dropped or forgot about, (also never happens).
Any time you do electrical service take a digital picture. Heck, I even print them out and put them in plastic protectors. I'm an ET with 40 yrs of experience and don't rely on my memory.
Your issue should be simple if you just start from scratch at the batteries. If you reversed the batteries don't panic. Most modern charger/converters have fuses that die a peaceful death when asked.
