Xanrex Inverter/Charger Over Charging
We had a solar panel and inverter installed when we bought our Jayco Whitehawk TT as well as converting the 12 volt to two six volt batteries. Expensive ones. The first time we used the inverter whil...

When you say the solar is connected at the converter.... there is no direct connection to the converter itself. What they would have done is connected to the 12 volt distribution panel. This would allow the solar power to reach all items to operate the RV and charge the battery.
Removing 120v power from the converter would not disable the solar. You would need to pull the 12v/120v distribution panel covers off and possibly remove it completely to gain access and see the connection. This is an easy process and easy to reassemble and put back. All wires would remain connected. Just need to pull it out 10" to 20" using existing slack in the wires to observe the connection.
I assume you had one 12v fused branch connection that was unused and they would have popped in a fuse and connect the positive. Negative goes to the 12v ground bus. Need to verify. You may even find the controller back there.
