BUT- I will say, I use the same trick for the inverter with backfeeding the camper's power from it. So long as I shut off the converter/charger, it works really well with my 1000W inverter.
Certainly feeding the entire trailer "whole house" by plugging it's main service cable into the inverter's output can work but after having to go outside in the snow at 3 am to move my cable from the dead campsite post and over to the inverter I decided it was time to wire my inverter's output directly to dedicated receptacles inside the trailer. Now when we lose shore power I don't even have to get out of bed - just turn on the inverter with the remote control and go back to sleep. I also don't have to remember to turn the converter off or force the fridge to the gas mode. When shore power is restored everything in the trailer automatically just goes back to normal. :B
