Glad you were on top of it and got a warning! Those wires that melted look familiar to me I believe those will come out of the transfer switch and go all the way to the front of the coach and feed the AC power gauges, be very careful with them they are not fused and 16-18 gauge wires and have 2 phases of 120vac.
We know the feeling when something like this happens we had fire behind our washer dryer and it hadn't been used for 2 days, seems a telephone book that was on a metal coat hanger got itself between the washer dryer plug and socket. The book was from Louisiana so it came from the last owner but thank God we were in the coach watching TV when it happened. We had fire extinguishers and used them not sure if the fire or the extinguisher mess was harder to fix.
Good point to others reading this make sure you have plenty of fire extinguishers and know where they are at plus check the gauges and dates.
