Lots of good testing advice in this thread.
Couple of things though. You mentioned your battery is getting drained. That is actually a normal condition because of propane leak detector and possibly other parasitic devices. So, make sure you don't confuse normal parasitic drain with potentially a non-existent "problem". This condition is exactly the reason many, myself included, have a battery disconnect on their system as the batteries will drain in a week or two without a battery disconnect and not connected to shore power.
Second. A battery holding its charge overnight is not a true test that a battery is good. You would need to load test that battery to know if it was truly a good battery. Any shop that sells batteries can load test your current batteries.
This is not to mention your converter isn't having an issue... but keep in mind if there is a charging or other issue, your batteries could also have been ruined. Isolate the issues and good luck.
