It looks like your trailer's converter/charger is not working so your new batteries are not being charged.
Get a multi-meter and read the battery voltage from the battery-terminals. I suspect they will read somewhere below 12.7 volts. Maybe around 12.0 volts. Do the check with the trailer unplugged from shore-power.
Now plug the trailer back in to shore-power. The voltage should rise to 13.6 volts or higher. If not the charger is not working. Check the circuit-breaker for it and look for a blown fuse. If not that then the charger has failed.
