Is the inverter wired to the trailer batts for its input? No feedback with converter on TC batt unless the trailer batts are jumpered to the TC batt to get at the DC dist panel in the camper. Anyway the converter will still come on in the camper and run the 12v stuff instead of the batteries.
Take the cover off the 120v circuit breakers and you see black wires going to them underneath. The converter is down below so you can see the black wire from it coming up to a breaker. Don't do anything with the white wire. the black wire may be spliced in with the black wire for another circuit often the receptacles.
Snip the black wire from where it is on the receptacles circuit and tape the end still on the breaker (or it will short on the metal cover when you put that back on) Now you have choices.
You can splice that black wire over onto a different circuit like the air conditioner you won't be using when on inverter. But then on shore power, you might not be able to run that and the converter off that one circuit.
You can give that converter black wire its own breaker if there is a spare slot. Or you can insert a switch by adding some extra black wires and then re-attach to the breaker it was on before.
With the switch, you can turn that off and leave the breaker on so the receptacles still work when you are on inverter.
Disconnecting from the TC battery will not turn off the converter, just make one less thing for the converter to do when the inverter comes on.
Thanks, I wil, go and have a look at this as soon as the rain stops.
