That is quite inaccurate. Actually the battery will power all 12v accessories, that may include other things that are pretty important such as the CO and propane detectors. It may also be necessary to operate your reefer when not plugged in. Although the reefer does run off propane, there is also a computer circuit board in there that needs 12v. Unless you have a REALLY old unit the reefer won't run without 12v.
Actually I am accurate. Please note I said, "if you were not a boondocker". When plugged into shore power the convertor handles the 12v stuff. I Usually don't put my battery back right away in the spring as I'm bringing the trailer out of hibernation. Everything works perfectly fine on shore power without the battery.
Of course, if you do boon dock, which we did for many years, then yes, you need a battery to power everything you listed.
