I agree with ExPatNW. If you are connected to shore power you get 12v from the converter that is powered by the shore power. I have a quick disconnect switch for my rig batteries and disconnect them while in storage and can still use the 12v lights via the converter. The furnace, the fridge (12v/propane configuration), all without a connected battery. Try not to use the heavy duty 12v stuff (slideouts or landing legs) while on shore power but even these are possible but sometimes the converter may not provide enough power for the higher amp stuff.
I leave my rig at the house on shore power (15 amp) and can use the 12v stuff just fine because of it. In fact, the batteries are disconnected and by using shore power, I plug the Battery Minder into a 110v outlet of the trailer its leads are connected to the batteries for recharging/reconditioning. My converter does not have the "smart" controller to do this so I use the external Battery Minder for this purpose.
