If the WFCO output is 14.4 VDC, then you should see about 14 Volts on the batteries!...or you have a bad connection / or an open connection if you only see 12.5 volts. Check if there is a bad fuse or solenoid in between.

Excellent point!
A high resistance connection could certainly be causing the issues described.
I'm relatively certain there isn't an open connection as the converter does work, just extremely slowly. Furthermore, one of the troubleshooting steps was to disconnect the battery entirely and see if the converter can handle 12v loads in the trailer. It did so, even high draw items like the electric awning and slide outs.
There are no fuses or solenoids in the wiring. Maybe that's a bad design, but probably a different discussion.
