A converter and charger are one in the same.
Technically no, but that is how they are typically packaged and sold. (Yes, I am picking a nit)
The "converter" converters 120VAC to 12VDC (nominal). A charger obviously charges your house batteries from 120VAC. Many converter-chargers are sold with 12VDC distribution panels (fuse/breaker panel) built in.
One brand that is highly recommend is Progressive Dynamics. They sell both converter-chargers and coberter-charger-distribution panels.
An inverter (which may or may not have a built in charger) "inverts" 12VDC to 120VAC (nominal).
I am sure there is a company that makes "one box" that has all of the above in it.
