There will be no battery, it needs to go in the Nash that I am selling.
And Yes, TW = Tow Wehicle. LOL, sorry about that.
And it is a 2 way fridge and would be on propane.
Federal LAW requires a fully charged functional battery in trailer while towing to activate the Emergency Breakaway----required to maintain voltage/braking for 15 minutes should trailer become disconnected from tow vehicle.
Just saying....you will not be safely towing regardless of distance/time frame
As for fridge...
Tow vehicle '7 pin CHARGE' line is intended to charge/maintain trailer battery voltage while towing.
W/O trailer battery----fridge will not have DC for controls/gas valve because tow vehicle alternator/voltage regulator will not 'see' the fridge DC demand.
Buy a CHEAP 12V battery and toss it in the trailer........!~!
