Forgot the battery??????

Good morning to all, Upon our arrival at our property in MI where we keep our permanent trailer I realized I forgot the battery back in Illinois . The question is, will I do any damage to the converter by plugging the camper to its 50amp electrical source?

Thank you to all in advance .

    You could also go to the local auto parts store and get another.

    Not as long as the disconnected battery terminals are not touching. If you have a slide many mfg recommend using a battery to run the slides out to not damage the converter.

    At my seasonal my battery went dead years ago and is electrical disconnected. Just run off the converter.
