A simple test (with no instruments) to see if the converter is working would be:
Unplug the shore power. Disconnect the battery(s) and do not allow the battery leads to touch anything or each other. Plug back into shore power and see if the lights and other 12v stuff is working as it normally would. If everything works, the converter is probably OK.
If you have a volt meter, test voltage at the battery leads. It should be somewhere in the 13-14 volt range.
Considering the age of your battery, I suspect it is at the end of it's useful life.
