Electrical outlets
I have a 2015 Forest River Evo camper trailer. I am new to the camper trailer world. This weekend is my first week and dry camping. Do my electrical outlets only work when I have my generator running...

Let's say you're going to be gone 1-2 nights, you might not need to run the generator at all.
This assumes the following:
You have the TT hooked up to 115V at home (or at storage) and the batteries are fully charged when you leave.
You have 2 batteries rather than just one.
You have LED lights, or will be careful with how much you use the lights
You don't need the furnace to run more than a few times through each night.
You will be hooking your TT back up to 115V when you get home.
I still take our generator with us on most dry camping weekends, but I rarely run it now that I know what we're capable of. It's similar to learning how well we can manage our fresh/gray/black tanks without hookups.
