Huff:

My 1964 Globe Trotter had the original first generation
Univolt that had 120 Volt AC input and 12 volts AC and 18
volts AC output. It was not a converter, did not have 12
volt DC output, and was never a battery charger when plugged
into to 120 volts AC. Batteries were charged (don't know
how well) by the two vehicle alternator only when driving,
never when [plugged in to City power (120 volts AC).

As I remember, your trailer is slightly later than 1964,
so your Univolt might be a different model than mine and
might have different features. Check your Univolt output to
see if it is 12/18 volts AC or DC.

The box with the City / Battery switches is not the
Univolt; it is the switch box to change between
self-contained Battery power or City power when plugged in
to 120 volt AC. My 1964 Univolt was just a AC transformer
with two different outputs, 12 volts AC for all lights and
18 volts AC for the fan motor and water pumps. Yours might
be different model Univolt.
