Charlie,
Maybe, maybe not. Although it NOW is in my Airstream, it wasn't that
way when it came from the factory. It used to have a low-voltage cutoff
relay that would disconnect the trailer from the vehicle charge line to
prevent draining the vehicle battery. To get the relay closed again required
starting the
vehicle and getting the voltage over 13.5 or so.
I have no idea how many Airstreams used that outfit or if they maybe
still do, but trailers that have it would have to have a bypass switch
or something installed.
