I thought I should post this, since I THINK I've found what those mystery, hidden fuses are all about. From looking at specs and wiring for replacement converters, I'm about 99% sure now that those...

It sounds to me like you have something in the trailer that is putting a constant drain on the battery. There are two components that could do this, and drain it that fast.
