Welcome Aboard! Without knowing your exact model, it is hard to say for sure. You can google "Jayco 2018" and your Model# and find the original marketing details. (

As for a battery; Yes and No. Yes if you tow at all. Legally you need the battery for the emergency brake system. If you leave it parked at a seasonal site, a battery is not required. Having a battery if you are at a season site is not a bad thing when the power goes out.
When plugged in to shore power the converter will power all your 12V devices and keep the battery charged
