I would skip the big inverter/charger for your described use. 300 watt inverter will work fine. Add a small transfer switch to the branch circuit and use the existing outlets. Replace the converter for faster charging of the AGM batteries.

Thank you. Pardon my ignorance, but the transfer switch would connect the 30a shore supply line/inverter output and feed into the 30a supply line into the distribution panel? In this scenario, is it necessary to disconnect the Magnatek charger to prevent a power loop, or would the transfer switch handle that automagically? A link to an online product would appreciated, so I can investigate more.

Thanks all for your help.

No. Just power the one branch circuit for the outlets. Remove the branch circuit Romex from the breaker and connect to the transfer switch output. The transfer switch input connects to the inverter and that now empty breaker.

I have and recommend the GoPower 300w for low idle draw (200 mA) and a provision for a remote power switch.

GP 300w SW on Amazon $150

If you mount the inverter behind or near the power center you can make all the connections right there. Use the main battery feed for 12v power. No pulling wire. Just add the remote and get on with camping.

You do need to be aware of any items on that branch circuit to either disable or set to propane only.
