Newbie trailer owner, quite confused

[RetroAirBnB]

I just bought my first travel trailer. A 2017 Riverside Retro 195. Mint condition with the all the manuals.

I thought: "this will be great, I'm sure I can learn everything i need to by reading the manual."

No schematics. Anywhere. And even the narrative is confusing.

It's hooked up to the battery, no "shore power" yet. And only certain electronics seem to work. Ceiling fan, outside light, radio, pump.

I ASSUME I have to have it plugged into power to get the other stuff to work, but nowhere can I find a description of what might be wired to battery and what might not be.

I'm wondering, if there are other owners out here, if I post a link to a 5 minute youtube video walking through if people could help me figure things out?

OK, but maybe you can tell me this: can i connect to my home power? Manual says I can, but have to turn off all breakers in house and trailer first, then turn on. For some reason.

find a trailer in your neighbor hood and go ask that person to do a walk threw with you, take notes. and bring a six pack.

If the “stuff” is the AC, microwave, 110 plugs and most TVs, yes you need to plugin or use a generator. However, most of us use an inverter for the TV...turns 12 volt battery electricity into 110.
