An alternative is to just plug your shore power cable into the inverter and cut the power to the converter. This is what we do. I isolated my converter 120V AC input power to its own AC breaker and I just flip that breaker off when I'm going to plug into the inverter. All outlets are energized when running off the inverter. Fridge and water heater are set to propane. Not all inverters will allow this though, the first one I tried it with (Samlex MSW) would shut down fault immediately if I plugged my shore power cable into it. It said in the manual to not use it to energize an AC panel.
