Yes, you don't want to just have a hack job from inverter to load center. It usually isn't necessary because you can either plug your shore cord into the inverter or install a transfer switch.

Yes but if you do that then wouldnt the inverter try to charge the batterys through the RV convertor?

You would have to turn off the charging part on the rv convertor. How would you do that?

I have my converter connected by itself to one 120 V AC breaker. The breaker could be that switch. If you have a conventional load center/12 V distribution panel, the best way would be to interrupt the AC power to the charging part of the system with a panel mount switch on the front of the panel. Two wires need to be attached to the switch and if you have enough slack in the positive phase of the AC wiring, cut, strip, and attach. An alternative is to mount a receptacle/box and attach a male plug onto the converter wiring, the converter being connected to the receptacle when in use.

At present, I power a 120 V fridge and entertainment gear with an inverter. The fridge is plugged directly into the inverter and the entertainment gear is powered by a separate circuit with it's own, Hubbell receptacle. I move plugs when connected to shore power.
