I tried turning off the converter but they've wired some outlets to the same breaker, so we had issues. I intend to change that too.
Off-topic, but this will also help when plugging shore power cord into the inverter for "whole house." You must turn off the converter but you don't want to also turn off the receptacle circuit which is on the same breaker as the converter.
You can also instead insert a switch in the black wire coming up from the converter to the breaker before it joins with the receptacles' black wire. Now you can leave the breaker on so the receptacles work and just turn the converter on or off with the switch. I used a regular stick house light switch. (before mounting, check which way is off and have that pointing down :) )
