You need a converter to convert 110v AC to 12v DC in order to charge your batteries and power 12v DC lights and appliances when on shore power.
You need an inverter to make 12v DC into 110v AC for running AC appliances from your battery bank.
Correct !
IMHO, anyone who is planning on installing an inverter should get a combination inverter/charger/automatic transfer switch. Easy to install and even easier to use. (Yes, they are not cheap.)
Remove your old converter. Connect the DC fuse/distribution panel directly to the battery. Connect the inverter/charger/automatic transfer switch inpout directly to the battery and then the output to the AC breaker panel. Connected the shore power leads to the inverter. DONE !
