Hi all. We dry camped this weekend. We experienced intermittent and occasional heavy rain. Ceiling vent in bathroom was open and some rain landed in the shower pan. Twice, we experienced compplete los...

For a total DC power failure, logically the problem has to be something that's common to all the DC circuits. The individual bathroom fuse wouldn't in and of itself cause power to disappear or reappear to all the other DC circuits.
It sure sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere in the main DC feed circuitry. If the battery cable connections are clean and tight, start working back from them. (Do make sure you verify that the battery cables are not corroded inside their terminals, too. I've seen that at least a couple times; they look fine at a quick glance, but are actually falling apart.) If jiggling the fuse in the fuse panel made things work, then possibly the power connections to the fuse panel are loose.
