Electrical Problems

There is no switch. The 120v side and the 12v side are separate systems. The only interface they have is the 12v charging from the 120v converter.

The symptoms you describe are of a dead 12v system. Check to make sure the breaker that feeds the converter isn't tripped.
Next thing to check, not on the regular fuse panel, but to it's left, are 2, 40A fuses. Those protect from accidental reverse polarity from the battery. MAKE SURE those are not blown.

The next step is to make sure the converter is getting 120v. You need a multi meter for that.
If it's getting power, but not sending out 12v, converter is bad.

To charge the battery, the 7way is absolutely the worst way to handle the situation. Use jumper cables. Truck battery to Pod battery. They will send literally 10X the amps.

As a temporary solution, go to wally world and buy a automotive battery charger. Hook it to the battery and plug in. Many a trip has been salvaged with one.

Get prepared to buy an automotive battery charger.  When your converter goes bad, which mine has done twice now, a battery charge can save the camping trip.  it will keep your battery charged, all things 12 volt will work and you can continue using your trailer until you return home.  Then plan on replacing your Waco junk converter with a Progressive Dynamic unit.  Direct replacement.

Hmmm, I didn't know there was such antipathy to WFCO.  Mine lasted 8 years, which given the service environment (as suggested by Chet's comments on wiggling), it did pretty well.  I think I'll stick a little dampening stuff under the tray just to be sure.  If it conks out again, after the two year warranty, I'll certainly look into other brands and appreciate the suggestion of flat6s that a Progressive Dynamic converter is more reliable.  A question for flat:  it just slides right in like the WFCO, with the screws aligning and everything?  

I need some clarification. Headed out for a 10 day trip and want to have the answer before I head out.  IF...my WFCO dies on the trip, and I use the jumper cable and/or batter charger method, how do I hook it up to my dual 6 volt batteries?  Do I charge both at the same time with one connection to the +  on one and one to the - on the other?  Or do I charge each battery independently?  My gut says hook it up just like the wires form the WFCO, but this wouldn't be the first time I've learned something new.

You make your connections to the battery posts the pod wiring is connected to. you have a cable going to the neg(-) on one battery, and the pos(+) on the other battery, from the pod.

You also have 1 cable running from the pos(+) on one battery to the neg(-) on the other battery. You DON'T use those two posts.

Regardless of which method you use, portable solar, battery charger, jumper cables, you charge both batteries at once, it's a 12v system. BTW, charging with jumper cables won't fry your batteries, and again, it's the fastest method you have available. Your solar panel is probably good for 4A, a portable charger, 6-10A, your trucks alternator, 90 to 240A.. The voltage regulator will keep the alternator from running amok on your batteries, same as it does the battery in your truck.
