Hi,
Don't muddy the waters.
Solar charge controller connects to the battery bank.
Inverter powers the shore connection.
If you want it automated then a transfer switch and a sub panel work well.
If not, just provide an outlet that is supplied by the inverter and plug in the shore power cord. The converter needs disconnection. The fridge, and water heater should be set to propane.
This^^^ We just plug our shore power cable directly into the 120V outlet on the inverter and it powers the whole house. It it's a manual fool proof transfer switch! The converter must be switched off so it isn't trying to use the batteries to charge the batteries.
You can use any size inverter you want to power the whole camper, you're just limited on what you can run by the capacity of the inverter. We power our TT this way all the time with a 300 watt one. We usually just use the AC power to run the television.
