That's a good question. What I did with my unit was to figure out what all works on 110 volts and what all works on battery. Since unit is new I'm still learning mine with three more trips before the Christmas.
On 1st trip I had 110 at site and life was good. On 2nd trip no electric (but backed up by predator 2000w gen.) and life was ok. Getting used to what works with 110 and just the battery was easy. If it didnt work it's plugged into a receptacle.
For me I take for granted all the 12v equipment when 110 is available since the inverter is covering that, in my last unit I didn't have that luxury. With my little generator and load management I was able to run everything with no tripped circuits. I also used my big buddy heater over the units heater to conserve battery and gas consumption.
I had to get out and find for myself how my unit works and how to work it under variable conditions for what I have yet to encounter this year yet.
The next 3 trips all have 110 at site. I'm looking forward to see how it does with electric heaters

As far as I am aware, no outlets (assuming you are talking about 110) will work when dry camping.
Only 12 volt equipment will work.

What runs off the battery?
We have a 2018 23RLS and we dry camped for the first time in it and none of the outlets worked. Only the water pump and lights worked. Is there some sort of switch we need to turn on or a specific outlet to use when running off the battery?
