If it's a matter of the converter not providing enough current to operate slides etc. without a battery, you could hook up the tow vehicle temporarily to the RV battery connections with jumper cables (carefully, so as not to short things out) to give the extra current. If you have a motorhome, starting the engine should activate the battery combiner circuitry to accomplish the same thing sans jumper cables.
