If the outlet only trips when you are not present then I suspect either the battery charger is kicking it off when the fridge is running or someone is plugging something in when you aren't there. Of course, some could be tripping it just to mean as well. I would get a decent extension cord first and eliminate that.
You mentioned the converter. We are learning since this is our first trailer BUT I think the converter may be in the same compartment with the fuses. We are learning as we go, as you can tell. Not sure what to check, though.
