It certainly sounds like a shorted cell in the battery. The converter should only put 13.6VDC unless it is in smart-mode charge mode where it would put out 14.4VDC. You might want to check the output voltage of the converter.
If your trailer does not have the smart-mode converter setup then the constant battery charge of the 13.6VDC will definitely boil out your battery fluids over time. I checked my battery fluids at least every two weeks when I had the single mode converter/charger unit.
I am guessing you was running the whole trailer being connected with the shore power cable plugged directly into the generator. This would be no different then being plugged into a shore power conenction.
I suspect a failed converter/charger putting out more than 13.6VDC or you have boiled out your battery fluids for extended use of the 13.6VDC and not checking your battery on a regular basis.
I did get a chuckle out of your ROUTE 66 Warrenty. ROUTE 66 which ran from Chicago to Calif hasn't been around for many years now. Only a short section between AZ and CA still exists I think... I got a picture of me standing near a RT66 sign in AZ outside of Flagstaff AZ.
hope this helps...
