Without batteries to charge, just about any reputable converter in the correct amperage will work. Where they really shine is how well they take care of your batteries, and you want one that will maintain them while not overcharging. I know you said no batteries, but I'd still look at the ones capable of multi-stage charging as I feel they're more likely to provide clean, consistent 12v power for the trailer.
I installed the PowerMax Boondocker PM4B-60 in my 50 amp Airstream back in 2013 and it has worked like a champ since.
From what I'm seeing, PowerMax and Progressive Dynamics seem to be the most reputable converters these days. The below site has a lot of good info to school yourself up and make a more informed decision. Good luck and hope this helps.

If it is built in to the distribution panel. You have to hard wire in to the breaker box and connect the positive & negative to the fuse buss
