LFP on Shore Power with Inverter/charger?
An inverter/charger requires that you have a battery connected (or some 12v source) so it will supply any 12v to the RV. (Unlike a converter that will do 12v with no battery) Some say not to float...

Exactly, Lithium (LFP) is happy with constant current and constant voltage, isn’t bothered by a float mode and there’s no need to equalize...This is about as basic as things can get and describes what a dedicated LiFePo4 charger does...The main caveat, don’t charge below freezing (discharging is ok).

And SiO2 are less problematic than Li, with even fewer hoops.
Well that seems to be the answer to the question that nobody asked :), but not a whole lot different than comparing a biplane to a Lear jet - either will get you where you want to go (lol).
3 tons, where ‘harvest rates’ and capacity matters...
