jus introducing myself. new to the "travel trailer world". had a jayco 10 pop up for few yrs. I just acquired a 99 four winds lite? 19 or 20 foot I think? no manual of course....and to my everlasting shame..i have little to no knowledge of campers.. looked to be in good shape.. I was "assured" everything works.. the guy hooked up a jump pak to the battery cables to show me lights and radio worked... didn't have the adapter to plug in the power cord... should the plugs have become "hot" (fridge/microwave/etc..) with jus that lil jump pak hooked up? hope not a silly question.. but I cant seem to locate an owners manual.

Stop, safety first, a travel trailer over 14 feet is going to have brakes, and with a 1999 unit there's a 99.99+% chance those are electric brakes. For the brakes to operate if the trailer should detach from your tow vehicle it needs working 12V power so before you tow it (or tow it again) make sure you have a working 12V battery onboard. Also, just in case, does your tow vehicle have a 7 point harness and a working brake controller, either factory or aftermarket? If not that's a top priority as well.

If you're all set on the safety stuff welcome and happy learning!
