You can put the inverter close to the batteries so the input to the inverter is with short fat wires. The shore power cord via an adapter goes into an inverter receptacle once you are at the campsite.
The converter can be pulled out of the power centre and placed near the battery bank too, next to the inverter. That gives it short fat wires to the battery instead of a long run like it probably has now.
The battery to DC fuse panel wiring stays as is.
You just need a 120v receptacle handy somewhere to plug the converter into or the power bar. If you can just plug in the converter you can unplug it as needed so no need for the power bar switch. It all depends on the rig's layout what to do.
The solar controller can go in there with the inverter and converter close to the batteries too. You don't really need to see the controller that often.
