One has to be very careful assuming any color is positive or negative in an RV. Electrons are color blind and often RV builders think of the black wire as being the "hot" wire and continue with that into the 12 volt side of life.
Too many folks have smoked things making assumptions connecting up batteries on the fronts of their travel trailers.

You REALLY REALLY need to trace the wires to see where they go. On 12v systems, black is USUALLY negative, and green is not usually used.

Any color is probably connected to positive.
You can leave the green off until something does not work.
It should be easy to follow the green wire to the break-away switch if that is it.

should the microwave or the AC work on the battery? thanks.
