There's some variation in electrical system design. Occasionally the converter is connected on the battery side of the disconnect switch, rather than the load side, presumably for reasons of simpler or shorter wiring. That's how it is on my '98 Coachmen--not built in the last decade, admittedly, but it's not that old or esoteric either.
I suspect the converter on the load side is the most common arrangement, and should be practically universal when the converter is part of the power center. Deck mount converters can be hidden most anywhere convenient (for the builder, if not always for the user or serviceman).
