I have a "traditional" converter setup with no integrated inverter. It's a 2006. The converter is a Progressive Dynamics PD9160 (60A).
When the converter is powered and I disconnect the batteries the house still has power so the converter is on one side of the disconnect and the batteries are on another. I actually haven't been able to chase the wires fully (I haven't found where they come in/out of the coach and go to the panel for example) but after talking to Thor/Damon and testing it everything seems to jive.

not sure where is the circuit the disconnect is, but should be .. between the batteries and everything else
also i'm 99% sure the converter wires goto the battery Not the distribution panel
other wires run from the batteries to the panel
any RV that has an inverter charger the distribution panel and charger are seperate units NOT combined
NOW if you have converter only no inverter, and the breaker panel is down on the floor, thats different, thats old combined style
yes it is still in use, but NOT where you have inverter/charger combo units
only in some 30amp converter only RVs
