Yes, all will work in the trailer because it all runs off the trailer battery.
I was referring to the TV alternator being able to charge the trailer battery while driving.
I think the GM manual refers to the following 2015 and 2016 models:
I was told there is only hot 12v. power from the TV to the TT while the truck headlights are on ....or the tow haul mode is selected. IF NOT..you are not charging the trailer battery.
I would assume that the TT will not draw off both the TV and the TT batteries while the rig is ' parked and hitched up ' because the 7 way charge wire is dead while the combo is parked.
Trailers will draw 12v power from the trailer battery when you are not using the trailer (when it is parked).
Fridge circuit board, while running on gas can draw about an amp per hr., gas detectors, 12v stereos and TV's as well as some model ceiling exhaust fans , all draw power while in stand-by mode. At the end of a day, they all ad up.
My charge wire is active even with the truck shut off. I keep battery disconnected most the time with battery off and vehicle connected there is still power to everything on the low voltage circuit
