This is a 1993 slide in pop up camper. No water heater no electric frige. Would someone tell me what these two wires are for? I bought it like this. There is not a compartment on the outside for a battery. The wires in the pics go to a receptacle box with a blank plate. There are wires that go out of the box to the above converter. With shore power there is no current. Battery power from the truck there shows 12 volt. This compartment is under the step up to the bed area. Any ideas?

Have you pulled the cover of the electric box to see what is connected to what ? Do the loose wires reach the electric box ? Do all the 12v interior lights , etc work when connected to the truck ? Do they work when connected to shore power ? Are you reading 12v at those loose wires or 12v+ ? Does the 12v outlet at the upper left corner work when connected to the truck

OK. What type of battery would be safe in that place?

AGM

I had thoughts of that also. And like you said, not a good spot.

With those spade connectors I'm guessing it was wired to the 12V receptacle and somehow got pulled loose. Is there power at the 12V receptacle to the top left of the door?

Only when plugged into the truck 12 volt.
