The exterior lights on the trailer operate off of the truck, not the trailer batteries. You need to plug in the truck to verify correct operation.
Do you have issues with burned out bulbs? What are you trying to check before a trip? Most RVs use LEDs and have for a great many years. A burned out LED bulb is rare. I have never had one fail even after years and years of use.
I've had 1 LED side marker light fail completely (on a 5 year old RV) due to water incursion, and one cabover clearance light has dimmed to the point where it's almost not visible. It's the middle light in a light bar of 3, so I'm not sure what happened to it but I'm not planning on replacing it.
Checking the lights is still important, even with LED's.
