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..

Answer to your question is Yes

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.

perhaps if the OP had made a more meaningful and informative request for information, some of the "blather" would not have been needed nor received. An answer to all of these inadequate could always be, "yes you can do it, all it takes is money".
