A bad converter can indeed discharge your battery but it was probably the parasitic drains Sandia Man mentioned..
I would check the reverse polarity fuses. You will have three of them, probably yellow, in the panel and they are somewhat separate from the other fuses.
To the OP:
You need a cheap Volt ohm meter. Harbor freight puts out free coupons for them all the time. If you own a RV, you need this to trouble shoot many things.
In this case, set the meter to DC, Hook the battery back up and take a volt reading. It should be in the 12 range. Then plug the TT in and take another reading. If it is higher than the first reading, then the convertor is charging the battery. If it is the same or a little lower then there is a problem with the convertor, such as the fuses, or something else.
