Couple of questions, when you measured converter output voltage was the battery connected? You must remove the battery from the system (remove the battery ground wire from the post) to check the voltage.
Do you have a battery disconnect switch and was it in the on position?
What size/type battery did you replace it with and is it new? Was the replacement battery checked? A good battery should be able to ru87n the slides in and out and raise the front if there are no issues with those systems. I say "should" because without knowing what you have I don't know if you have 6 slides run by hydraulics on a 41' fiver or you have one slide on a 19' camper.
If you place the year and model of your trailer and the truck info in your signature line it will help folks trying to help you and reduce the "back and forth" questions to get that information.
