Yes the battery will charge from the converter and the fridge will chill usually takes a good 12 hours to become cold. If the pups plugged in just turn the fridge on electric to chill it off and get it ready.

With your Evolution E-1 in the down travel mode you should be able to get to the fridge controls by pulling the bottom large black vent door shown here just in front of the wheels. The Electric and Battery ON-OFF switches are located behind this vent door. You will be able to tell if the FRIDGE is working by a bunch of HEAT coming from the top vent door. Like the other post said it will take some time to get the fridge cold enough to use. I always switch mine to BATTERY when I leave for the camp ground and that helps a lot keeping it cold while in route. Mine fridge is also Propane but some of those models were only Battery and Electric. I never had any luck keeping my Propane pilot burning when in motion so I just switch to battery when going down the road. It is easy to just hold your hand up to the top black vent and if you feel alot of heat the fridge should be cooling.
Mine unit which is very similar to your has a caution tag there saying DO NOT have both the BATTERY and 120VAC ELECTRIC switches ON at the same time.
Also like the others said here if you are connected to garage usig an extension cord and RV30A-15A adapter your converter should be running and charging your trailer battery. You should purchase you an expensive digital multimeter from LOWES-WALMART-or any number of auto parts stores- They only cost cost $9-$25. With your multimeter you can read across the two battery terminals and read 12.5-6VDC if your batteries are charged and "not" connected to shore power... When you connect to Shore Power your battery voltage should jump up to 13.6VDC when being charged when connected to 120VAC.
Thats a nice OFF-ROAD trailer you have... Now that I have said all of this I may be thinking of the E2 model haha...
I just checked to see what the E2 model looked like and it more like mine shown below with the front deck added...
