That orange wire may be a bypass for your breakaway if you have a battery cutoff to the trailer. You have have to do some wire tracing.
You can test the fuse by testing for continuity on the ends of the fuse, but you need a meter. PS, I assume you know this but in case you didn't notice, it looks like you have 6V batteries.
Also, depending on the converter some of them want you to have a battery in the system so it shouldn't be plugged in without batteries.

Ok, swapped out the suspected blown fuse for a 30 amp fuse (it said "30 amp main" on the little fuse holder) and I now have tiny amount of power going into the trailer. If I turn on any of the lights, they take a second to come on and then come on very very dimly. This happens without all the main breakers flipped on. I had no idea what type of batteries I have and no idea what it means if they're 6's vs. 12's.

Thanks - I'll keep that in mind, granted as posted above I don't really know what having 6's means.
