It looks like those fuses were for the running lights and stop/turn lights on the TT. The power would have been coming into that corroded fuse block from what was the tow vehicle cord, which looks like it was cut off. So that fuse block should be dead. Note the blue wire in that cut off bundle that doesn't go through the fuse block would have been for the electric trailer brakes. Is it connected to anything now?
So, first question, is there a cord on the trailer that plugs into the tow vehicle? If so where does it attach to? If not, you would reconnect a new one here. and as noted by westend you can get rid of the fuse block altogether.
The Converter is also your charger, and as noted probably won't do a very good job. Unless you can find a separate charger elsewhere but I am betting you won't. There will be fuses protecting the lighting and other 12V circuits in the trailer, they are not the fuse block pictured but must be elsewhere. They can be inside the converter or if not follow the 12V wires leaving the converter and see if there is another fuse block downstream. Although on second look it almost looks like the converter is not connected to anything with the red/yellow wires dangling. This unit may have been abandoned and replaced with something newer elsewhere in the trailer.
You need to keep looking in all the nooks/crannies and see what else you got there, these pics don't tell the whole story.
Bad news, you will die eventually...one thing about life is that nobody gets out alive....Good news, is that this isn't likely to be the cause!
