Dumb question Is it ok to have an inverter hooked up to your battery when plugged into shore power?

One thing to avoid is powering the converter via the inverter. That will deplete your batteries quickly and may cause other issues.

Not if you turn off the charging circuit.. It should be labeled on one of your breakers..

No its not. Not if the response is to avoid powering the camper with the invertor.
First of all it's an inverter. And yes, it should be obvious that if you simply plug your trailer's main service cable into an inverter that in turn is being powered by batteries that are being charged by the trailer's converter then you've created a closed loop. As I said - self evident. :R
