new to rving, resorting camper
I am resorting a 1971 Holiday Rambler Travel Trailer "free Spirit". I want to make everything electric. Do I need a converter? Only using shore power or generator.

The Rv trailers are all built to run on both 12VDC and 120VAC to satisfy every one's style of camping...
This is what a typical 30A Trailer wiring configuration looks like. As you can see there is alot of 12V DC built into a typical RV Trailer setup..

I don't think I would ever completely take away the DC operational status...
If you are still planning to tow your RV down the public roads you will still need to satisfy the DOT requirement of having an active battery setup to operate your trailer Electric Brakes in the event your trailer becomes disconnected from your truck while being towed over public roads. This is an enforceable State DOT Safety requirement...
I guess not having 12VDC circuits would mean your RV trailer would become a TRAILER PARK trailer haha...
Maybe never on the road but setup permanently somewhere and never be towed anywhere???
