There is a couple things that i would correct immediately.
1) yes get a new fuse block. cut off the existing terminals and install new ones or better yet get a fuse block that does not use terminals. See item 3
2) Bundle of wires appear to be the ones that originally went to the tow vehicle connector. Take them off before something gets shorted out. Make sure all your lights and brakes work on the rig. Verify that you have a charge line from TV.
3) The fuses look to protect the trailer wiring from the TV. It may not be needed if everything is wired around it and works.
4) looks like previous owner as tapped of the converter for something. The converter power needs to get verified. Grey wires should be 120 volt feed on one side and the grey on other should go to the 12 volt DC fuse panel. You may need to trace them out to be sure. There should be a wiring diagram for the converter inside the cover for the wire connections. The black and white wires under the fuse block photo that goes through the floor should be the ones to the battery.
5) receptacles are powered from shore power only.
