Electrical issue?
Have a 2000 Dutchmen 26bh travel trailer, everything on the power converter works with the exception of the 3 accessory circuits...Do I HAVE to have a battery up front for these to work??? I know one ...

Welcome to the Forum...
I am a little confused by your question (I often am).
But, IF you are towing this trailer you certainly do need a battery so that your emergency break-away system will work...
The 12volt power for the break away hitch should come from the Pickup.
Both of our campers will run all the 12volt systems with out a battery. That being said not all of them do, check all fuses. good luck
