All
1965 Airstream's had a Univolt, that was a battery charger and a source for
12 volt DC power, except the Caravels.
The
Caravel model had a
12 volt and 19 volt AC transformer, as you describe.
You do not need a battery, since the only way the battery could be charged, was when the trailer was hooked up to a properly wired tow vehicle.
Make sure a previous owner did not have a
12 volt DC charger wired into the system.
You can easily update the trailer system, with a fuse panel and a Univolt, so that the 12 volt DC system works as it does in all the other
1965 and up trailers.
