Electric Help---No Lights will work inside campers

I removed the battery to charge it. When I replaced it, I have no lights inside the camper.

All fuses and breakers appear good and intact.  When plugged into 110 all 110 units work but the lights. I may have shorted the battery when I replaced it .

Also, there's a silver box behind the breaker box that has a plug for 110 but was not plugged in. I plugged it in and no help.

Please Help!

No Lights will work inside

The silver box may be the converter to convert the 120vac to nominal 12 volts for charging and running the lights. If that was unplugged it may have been the reason that your battery needed charging. Next, if the lights worked before you removed and reinstalled the battery, you hooked it up wrong. It happens a lot. If your lucky, the protection circuit caused the fuse to blow. Confirm that the battery is connected correctly (plus black, minus white when they leave the factory) and then get out the volt meter. Follow the voltage, the first fuse is at the battery, some have a fuse just inside the front, then at the fuse panel.
