I connected the battery in reverse and got a spark. Since then my lights on the trailer that work off the 12v battery no longer work, nor does the awning. However, the tipouts work as well as the jacks and the exterior lights on the trailer. When I checked the fuses they were o.k. but I do not seem to have any power going to the fuse box. Is there a reset switch somewhere? I own a Rockwood 5th wheel Model 8280WS.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Most likely blew the reverse polarity fuse(s) to the converter. This is what they are designed to do, to protect the converter. You will find these on the converter itself, or depending on which make/model you have, they may be in the RV's electrical distribution panel. If there, you most likely will be looking for 30 or 40 amp 12 volt DC fuses.
