Is there a reason for this? If I know the reason maybe it will be easier to remember.
Thanks.

In the rv industry there's no ryhme or reason for most anything, it depends on which person is doing what today, their mood & what day of the week!
In your case they used household wiring colors where black is hot & white is neutral/ground, some do however use red + / black -.
