Marc, I am beginning to see a pattern. The pre univolt trailers of the
1960's seem to have separate 12V and 120V electrical systems. The 120V
usually does not charge the 12V battery. The 12V system normally has a screw
in (household type) fuse block located inside the trailer, somewhere near
the battery, or where the wires emerge to feed the pump. You say that there
is nothing near your battery, try looking all around that dinette of yours.
Mine is mounted on the wall, near the water tank and air pump. The 120V
system normally has a breaker box. It is located near where the 120V line
enters the trailer, usually in a closet or storage compartment. If it is
true that you have no fuse on the 12V system, I would install one!

The '63 Globe Trotter that I have has no panel at all. The pump switch is in
the right front corner and looks like a household switch. There are several
outlets around the trailer for 110, but none for 12 volts. There's no meters
or level indicators. No TV either. The only thing that got 12 volts were the
lights and the air (water) pump. When I added some 12 volt items, I took the
power off the pump. The battery has a door behind the right wheel. There is
no charger or univolt. The cables for the battery disappear into the wall
above the battery and there is no access panel in the area (apparently). So
where area the circuit breakers? Possibly I don't have any, but I hope they
are there someplace, hiding. My 12 system works fine, so I didn't dig into
it yet. Mine's not an International. It only says "Globe Trotter".
Maybe it's the "Backwoods" series ;-)
