Converting a travel trailer to all 120/240 volt electric

Nit picking...batteries last a heck of a long time in normal use. If you never run them down, you can expect many years out of a battery.

As far as just running off the converter, it will work but then he isn't eliminating the 12v system, just powering it from a different source and it's still better to keep the battery in the system.

Removing the holding tanks can make sense. There is a purpose...you don't have to monitor the tanks and manually drain them every few days.

I seriously doubt asking about the purpose is going to drive the OP away.

valhalla,

Get a life.

OP answered in another separate NEW thread they started, doubt they will be back to this thread but I am quoting their post in that new thread for you..

That is why I don't pay any attention to all the other "blather"

And I already got rid of the black water tank and now have a residential toilet and residential refrigerator

So, in a nutshell, they are not towing, have no intention to move it and ZERO reason to keep putting money into a battery.

That IS stupid to keep a battery on a unit that is no longer moving, it is something that you HAVE to maintain, check on and replace when it dies.

The converter WILL support their trailer WITHOUT a battery attached so why would anyone be so stupid to keep putting a battery on a trailer that will not be moved.

I am glad I don't rely on help from this forum, you folks really know how to scare folks out of the building.
