I have a semi-permanent setup here for one of my trailers that is connected to 120VAC 20AMP Garage receptacle all the time. It has the WFCO 8900 series Power distribution with a WF8955 converter/charger in it.
I yanked the 12VDC battery out of this setup about a year ago as I needed the 85AH battery for more battery capacity in my OFF-R0AD Camper. Everything running just fine in the larger trailer without the battery.
If you have a SLIDE OUT on your trailer it may need to have the 12VDC battery added to support the heavy current required to operate the slide.
I'm sure having the battery connected will smooth things out 12VDC wise. I will be putting a battery back into this trailer as soon as I upgrade my 2008 batteries hopefully this season.
