House batterys

I have a 2011 Winnebago and have a question about the Batters. I have to replace my 6 year old battery,s but the new ones will not get shipped to auto parts store till Friday. If I turn off the battery,s switch by the door will It be ok to run the coach off of shore power or do you have to have battery,s in place to not burn up the power center and charger for the house battery,s.

Thanks
Class A

    On a 2011.. You should be OK with one possible catch.. On a 1981 I'd not be so confident without knowing the make and model of your converter. but on a 21st century RV, the make/model that needs batteries .. Discontinued long ago.

    The one catch.. If you need the furnace it may be more than the converter can power.. But the key word here is MAY, Same for macerator toilets.

    Anything else I'd not worry.
