Thanks @cousin_Eddie93
So we went a huntin inside to find the converter. It was located behind the drawer to the left of the cabinet that the distribution center is located at. We took the converter out and did a bench test with a battery to see what it would do. Viola it started to charge the battery. So ok the converter works woohoo. So we put it back inside the camper and then started the process of diagnosing the problem. Traced the hot from the converter underneath to the battery box located below the step. We just touched the wire and it broke from its ring. The entire connector there is completely corroded, and there is also a lot of rust on the other ring connectors and terminal posts inside there so gonna have my father in law who is a mechanic come over and put new connectors on everything and new battery cable where needed. 2 owners ago the owner added 4 batteries to this camper so the whole thing has 6 granted 1 of them is for the engine. We thought initially it was just taking a while to charge all 5 of them but turns out just some nasty wires. We'll have it all fixed up and ready to go before our first trip of the season. Thank you all so much for your help with this.
