12v system?

Can the 12v system operate without house batteries?

It really depends on what kind of converter you have in the unit. Most will operate fine, but there are some that require a battery to be there.

Depends on your RV to some extent..Most modern RV.s yes, quite well..Some older ones have Magntek converters.. They need either a battery or a "Battery Simulator" (What today is known as a hardening condenser from a high end automotive audio store) to work.
