Ok so is it possible to run the lights off of the batteries themselves which are charging when the truck is running completely bypassing the converter? That's the only way I cpuld figure that the converter is not connected but things still work.
Correct. Anything that runs off 12v will run directly off the batteries.
The converter converts 110v to 12v when you are plugged in. Taking your household 15/20amp or RV 30/50amp shore power connection and converting that energy to 12v.
The inverter does the inverse. It takes your 12v power and inverts it to 110v allowing you to run 15/20amp appliances off the battery with no shore power.
