Elctrical Circuit Issue
So today I did a stupid thing. I hooked my battery up backwards and now I have no lights working off one circuit. I blew the two fuses on the converter. Before I replaced them I had no power for fr...

I took into the dealer for them to trace it, but here is what I know.
The #2 fuse on the 12V side feeds the main living area LED overhead lights, the Island lights, LP detector and the radio in the main living area.
The wire from the fuse panel feeds three wires that supply power to above mentioned areas. When I disconnect them all from the circuit and add one at a time, the only feed that blows the circuit is the LP / Radio feed. When I disconnect the radio from the circuit the fuse does not blow. While I had it apart I did not check the fuse in the radio, wish I would have. The radio and LP detector is the only two items on this part of the feed.
Off the #8 fuse, the power awning is fed, the fuse is good but I have no power to the awning. Maybe a fuse in the awning, but I could not locate it.
In the outside rear kitchen the radio seems to have no power. I do not have a meter to check, but the fuse in the radio was not blown. I am not sure what circuit feeds that radio either.
I have no 12V power when disconnected from shore power. When I have shore power the lights will pulse, which tells me they are only being powered by the converter and not being fed from the battery. Hopefully the converter was saved by the fuses.
Everything in the trailer seems to work on like it should other than the awning and two radios. The frig and water heater will light on gas, which tells me the 12V power is going to those.
I will see what the dealer comes back with. Not sure how much this will cost, but I hope it is not to expensive of a lesson. I will update when I get it back in a couple of weeks.
