Trickle charger to replace Converter?
One day into a week long zion trip and all the low voltage stuff goes down... no lights and no water pump. The battery runs the low voltage 120v stuff but as the batt wore down we figure the convert...

Within my previous TT, it had a 12 Volt - 140 Amp Converter. I replaced with simple out/in 145 Amp Progressive Dynamics model with NO wire changes. If wondering, its output in 45 Amps. re: - click here - A 12V trickle charger (on battery) is often 1 Amp (or less). Normal battery charger (on battery) is 10 Amps / 5 amps with slow rate 2 amps trickle charger.
With above in mind, I might use a normal battery charger at 10/5 Amps and run all items on their 110/120 Volt settings "if stuck on a long weekend". But if not an emergency, I'd replace with properly sized Convertor. Do shop around (ebay and such) because selling prices of RV Convertors do dramatically vary.
Hope this helps.
