The area just above the right hand wire nut and below the PROGRAM label looks even worse.
My best guess is that the unit is fried. Because it is a potted assembly, there is basically no way to repair it and it will have to be completely replaced. It looks like it could be a simple enough swap-out, but I'd be much more concerned about what caused it to self immolate.
For the OP, is there an odd shaped cutout in your master control panel inside the trailer that has an obvious cut-out where something like a remote control would be stored? If not, that would confirm my suspicion that your controller there is not a remote control model. Mine is, and there are all kinds of components sticking up out of the epoxy potting which simply means that there is more complex circuitry on the circuit board to accommodate the wireless remote unit.
If you're not comfortable trouble shooting 12vdc RV electrical systems, it would be advisable for a skilled RV tech to evaluate and repair the unit. While the swap of the controller itself is pretty straight forward, if there's problem else where that is causing the unit to self destruct, the problem needs to be found and corrected first or you'll just burn up another brain.
