The inverter then runs off those batteries and powers all 120v items, including the converter. The converter can then make your 12v for all those systems. .
Most likely would be. Depends how much trouble it is to get it all wired back up with a good converter, location of the battery bank, etc.
I did my test on the notion of having the batteries in a separate trailer with the inverter and solar panels on that. Could do that with 24 or 48 even. Then plug in the RV and use its converter as the 12v DC supply. Was some discussion at the time how to do up one of those power supply cargo trailers that some MHs tow.
