Outlets on battery power

If I am running my camper on battery should the outlets be operational? We had lighting and furnace this past weekend on battery power but none of the outlets worked. Wasn't a big deal.

The outlets worked when we got home and plugged the camper in from the house mains.

The pop up is a Coleman Cheyenne.

Nope,  the outlets are 110v AC, they do not work with the battery which is 12v DC.

There is a device called an "inverter" (not to be confused with the "converter that came with your pop up) which will change 110v AC to 12v DC.  But, unless you have a large battery bank they really won't run much.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now that I think about it, it makes complete sense.
