Newbie power question
Shore power and everything works GenSet on and everything works Battery power alone and I'm limited to 12-volt system only? I have lots of battery capacity, shouldn't the inverter run the 110 out...

I'm not an electrical engineer but it was my understanding that in order to utilize 12-volt D/C power for 110-v A/C application an inverter was required.
Also, a converter applies 110 A/C to 12-v D/C power. Yea? No?
For my shore line it would seem there is a converter to run all the D/C systems and the A/C just passes through. When my Jenny is running wouldn't there need to be an inverter to receive that D/C energy and turn it to 110 A/C power?
Not all-knowing in the ways of the world is there a dual purpose unit that does both? From the responses so far I'm guessing not.
Now, lets say that there's just a converter lying above my battery compartment.(And that's what y'all are saying) Is it possible to add an inverter to the system to tap my battery stores when boondocking?
NOT wanting to burn to death from an electrical fire running 110v A/C power...
I'm just feeling like there are 920 amp hours on the house batteries I'm not really using.
