If you don't already own a multi-meter, now is probably a good time to buy one.
My guess is that there is more than one path from the battery into your RV, that fuse being one of them. I think the fuse is open (or if it's actually a circuit breaker, it needs to be reset.)
The other possibility is that the battery voltage is too low. You need to tell us what the voltage reading is on it.

Are you 100% sure that you have the positive and negitive wires in the right place. Follow the wires back to the framing underside. Which wire is connected to the frame and which wire is connected to a terminal? To the frame = ground, - negative. Now look on the batt for the + and - posts.
