This question is for Tropical36. I am interested in doing what you described you have done to connect inverter as shore power. Would it help if I were to disconnect power bank from main setup and use it as a stand-alone power bank to power the inverter?
I assume you mean battery bank when you say "power bank"
Yes if you had a separate battery dedicated to the inverter you would not have to worry about the converter creating a power loop that drains the single battery.
No it may not save you much because the inverter powering the converter would still be charging the existing house battery potentially using a lot of power. Then you still need a way to charge the second battery dedicated to the inverter.
In the end I don't think this simplifies things. I don't recommend it.
