As others have said, the battery powers the brakes in case of separation of TV and 5th whl.
Also battery connection is needed for the operation of the landing jacks. You can certainly pull it. You just won't be able to hitch up or unhitch without the completed circuit.
Ken - donn0128Explorer IIYes, certainally it can. But as others have said a battery is necessary for the break away system to be functioning. Heck, most every new trailer is deliverd without a battery.
- tvman44ExplorerIllegal in most states because of the break away brakes. :)
- downtheroadExplorerBattery is required to operate the brakes in case of a brake away disconnect.
