I would recommend that you install an inverter with an internal automatic transfer switch. Magnum Energy and Xantrex have inverters like this. If you want to simplify this even further you can get an inverter that has an internal ... charger which would eliminate the stand alone converter.
That is the way to go ! Disconnect the existing converter and wire the DC distribution (fuse) panel directly to the battery bank.
Samlex makes several model like this that are very easy to install because all connections are made at the inverter/charge/transfer switch.
House batteries connect to #1 and #2. Output from solar charge controller (if you have one) connect to #3 and #4.
The rest of the connection go here.
The installation manual has instruction for how to wire this to automatically start the generator.
