You do need a working auxiliary battery. There are a few things that work off of that. Most refrig need it to start up, all lights when not connected to electricity, the furnace at all times. Wether you need on the way home is up to you, but I think the seller should replace it so that you can fully check out the camper. For instance, does the furnace work, or refrig. If there is a slideout, that may or may not need the battery.
I would suggest you hire a RV mechanic to check the unit out if you decide to buy it. From you question, I take it that you are a newby to RVs.
Yes, I am a newby. From the brochure for this RV, it states there is one 12V House Battery. I am guessing this is the aux battery that the seller is referring to as needing replaced. If I ran the generator, wouldn't that be sufficient to power up any of the electrical system on the RV to check it out even if the house battery is bad?
