Leisure Battery or none ?

We're planning a three week trip to France and south of Ireland. Planning to stay on sites with hook up all the time.

Our leisure battery is pretty much dead and has been since we purchased the caravan, charge holds for only very short time.. So I was wondering should I just ditch it to save the weight ? Do I need to have it installed..

I was thinking of leaving it out and insulation the connections - turning off the charger..

Does everyone have a good working battery or do people manage without ?
