You need to check everything in the 5er which is AC powered. You said the microwave and the fridge were dead. Is the fridge an RV gas/electric or a residential type? If its an RV fridge a low "strength" (voltage) event should not have harmed it. Be sure to check the TV, both A/Cs, and the converter. Use a volt meter on the battery, not the little indicator lights that show "Full", two-thirds, etc. They aren't very accurate. Connected to shore power, it should read above 13 volts. This almost sounds like a high voltage event, not a low one and means everything which runs on AC and anything which was plugged into an outlet may be damaged. Make a list for your insurance company of what doesn't work.
Good luck and I hope you get everything fixed or replaced and you can continue to enjoy camping.
