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...

Interesting numbers! Looks like average 65 amps solar to the batts for 5 hrs plus any for loads so 65/500 = 0.13C Then with a/c on you were also running about 15 DC amps worth of other loads. If I got that right.
That's pretty close, the solar is producing near 70-75ah now from 11:00-13:00. 60-65ah is about the average charge rate.
60-65% SoC seems to be the good cut off using the a/c and leaving plenty of power for dinner microwave use, evening tv/dvds, humidifier which runs 24/7, lights and then morning coffeemaker/ microwave use ending near 35% SoC +/- or 65% DoD depending on how you look at it. Using like this is faily gently on the batteries with fractional "c" use charging/ discharging.
Edit: last glance last night was 21:30 at 54% SoC. Now after making 1st pot of coffee SoC 37% SoC, batteries @ 13.11v, Inverting @ 13v with -11a loads. Sun coming over the hills, it's going to be another great day. ;)
