Understood. I'm thinking I just put this switch in the red position vice the green.

I thought you need to turn off the converter breaker also. Won't the converter be supplying power to charge the battery?

No but there should be a breaker for it in your breaker box inside the rig.

No, it does not have a switch, but there should be a 120V breaker for it. With a battery shut-off switch, I'm not sure you need to shut off the converter to check the battery.

If just working on the battery, operating the cutoff should isolate the battery. The power converter will still get power to the buss bar, and up to the cutoff switch, but not to the battery.
Disconnect the trailer from the truck as the truck battery charge line will sometimes be wired in between the battery and the battery cutoff switch.
