Well...the CONverter is on all the time. That's how we get our 12V lights to work and the 110 parts to function all at the same time when on shore power or generator power. At least on my coach.
I have two SEPARATE items: the CONverter and an INverter. I guess on some coaches they are one unit....I don't know. However, reading many posts here on the forum I think the CON and the IN are confusing to some...as to what they do.
Of course, when in "storage" the coach batteries are "off" (and then so is the CONverter).
And, one must be really cautions about use of the INverter...as that really chews up power from the coach batteries.
Again: MY coach.
