I like to have options.
Best "option" IMO and much simpler is to just leave the existing converter as it is and invest in a stand alone charger you can connect directly to the batteries with short, heavy gauge cable that will minimize voltage loss and maximize charging those few times each season you do camp without shore power. I did just this myself with a CTEK charger, first connecting it directly then later installing it in my trailer's front pass through storage compartment where it's within feet of the battery location. Choose any one of a number of chargers that can be used for this purpose, or even another converter if that's what you prefer. K.I.S.S. :B
