More question than answers, whether battery bad or not unknown- having tested is the only way to determine, short of letting set to see if it takes charge.
But yes if battery is dead even plugged in jacks will not work until its up a bit. Charging thru converter takes a while-hours, using jacks with low battery will force converter to try to supply load which they are not designed for. The recommendation using jack in pairs, or singularly, verses all 4 is one to heed. Cut the load on a marginally charged battery.
Do your jacks have a manual crank? Save battery for the actual lift off truck (if it will).
I dont under stand why solar isn't keeping battery charged. Camper not in use battery should not go flat even after several days. Though I didn't see a size/capacity on panel(s) even cloudy panels supply slight charge. Only drain should be maybe a detector-minimal
Whoever told you getting a small generator is a silly idea- is silly. With trailer in tow you have room if you have the means. A rack or other for when trailer not in tow, other than back up allows pursuit of A/C or whatever.
Though operator inexperience can go a long ways to create problems that others may not have- something doesn't sound right with system.
It could be a simple as another dumped battery. Its really hard on them if regularly discharged too low- never getting fully recharged.
