I have volt meters installed for all my batteries, so I can monitor their voltage at all times, but that doesn’t tell me if the converter is going to charge them when they are less than fully charged

Turn off your Converter. or Inverter/charger. Turn on a 12 volt light. If it lights the relay is ON. If the 12 volt system doesn't work it is OFF. Mark the switch to indicate on and off. If it is a momentary switch this won't work.
But turning off the converter will work every time. No lights, no battery connection.
Another method is to hook an indicator light on the load side of the relay.
