WFCO or other very low end converter, maybe cause for concern. Higher end, like ProgDyn, etc, shouldn't be a problem.
5 amp standby (60 watts) sounds kind of high for an inverter, is it an older model? If it's truly drawing 60 watts to do "nothing" it would be quite warm (like a 60 watt light bulb)
One scenario would be to leave the 3.2 cuft electric fridge in the TC on inverter, while the converter is on shore power. If the power goes off for a while, the fridge stays on without having to plug it into the inverter (if you are away at the time or in the middle of the night)
Rest of time at home it would be with fridge off so could just float on the converter as usual, but it might be handy to leave the wiring set- up alone out of sight out of mind no matter what.
