Converter, is it working
I just got a new HiLo trailer and not sure if the converter is working, is there a way to tell and with out using any fancy equipment (I don't have any). Is there a place to turn it on?

Seems the converter is not working. Best to go back to the dealer to get them to show you how it all works to get it going again. Then you can do it yourself next time.
If not possible to do that, just know that the converter is with the power centre where the 120v breakers are and the 12v fuse panel is. The converter is on one of those breakers. Snap on and off.
(First make sure the other 120v things in the RV work except for the converter of course)
You could have the reverse polarity (RP) fuses on the converter or on the nearby fuse panel blown. When the dealer put the battery in for you to take the rig home, he could have wired it backwards first time, then wired it back properly so now everything 12v works on battery, but the converter needs new RP fuses.
The "battery disconnect switch" and the "battery fuse" are ok from the evidence that you are getting 12v into the rig.
