Converter should have been supplied power to trailer 12V DC system (interior lights, water pump, furnace, thermostat, fridge etc.) but doubt it would have supplied DC power to slides due to the way they are wired in.
Slides are typically wired directly to battery due to high amp draw.
So with battery disconnected not surprised slides didn't work.
But rest of DC system should have as converter powers dc system when hooked to AC shore power.
Converter should have 13.2V DC output minimum (measured at converter) with 110V AC power input.
Some older model converters needed a connected battery to at as load but would still function without a battery...just not stable output.
Your 2007 shouldn't need that battery as a load.
