An old truck camper wouldn’t necessarily have its own battery, especially if it’s one of the smaller models.
A good indicator would be, does it have a shore-power cord for 120 volt appliances? If it’s got shore power then it should have a power center with CB’s, and may have a converter to supply 12 volts, and that converter MIGHT have a battery charger integrated in it. Back then, they weren’t always standard equipment. I had one that age that the battery charger was optional.
Just guessing, but this may be one of the models that relied on the truck batteries for 12 volt power, and ideally you would have two batteries under the hood, and a separator between them so you wouldn’t kill both of them.
