After BMS cut-off you can charge the batt and eventually it will come back on. Until it comes back on you have no 12v in the RV from that batt.
If you have an inverter/charger, which needs 12v to even be on so you can use its charger, how are you going to use the inverter/charger? It is dead.
You can use your converter as long as you have a gen to run it with. The converter can also then supply 12v to the RV while you wait for the battery to come back to life.
If your installed gen needs that batt to start it, your gen can't be used to run the converter. A portable gen would start.
Solar could be used unless this happens at night.
So you need a way to deal with it in your RV. Too late if it happens and you never thought of that.
