Can't get 12v power and boondocking

Are you saying that you are plugged in to shore power (via generator) and you do not have 12 volt power?

Y9ou might have two different issues going on, a battery disconnect and a bad converter.

First thing I would check is all the connections on the battery. Make sure the nuts or wingnuts are tight on the cables. make sure any and all connections you can find are tight.

Trace the negative battery cable and tighten the grounding bolt or screw at the frame.

Then trace down the positive cable until you find either a circuit breaker or fuse. Check or replace the fuse. If a circuit breaker see if it has a reset button on the side. If not find a way to jumper the two threaded posts together which will bypass the circuit breaker.

With the shore power disconnected go inside the trailer and pull the front off the breaker panel so you can see the wiring. Make sure every screw you can find is tight.

Only time I can get power is when I'm hooked up to the generator. When the trailer cable is hooked up to my car I'm not even getting power anymore - though I had been earlier.

I tightened all connections, the ground as well. I followed the positive cable all the way down and didn't see a fuse - it goes into an electrical box, then into the camper underneath the converter. Should I have a fuse outside? Only ones I have seen are at the converter box.

Going in now to take the front off the breaker panel and check the screws.

My wife is bringing my multimeter but won't arrive until this evening.
