Now I'm really confused. I am following you on your explanation, the reading I have done on the BW 6406 says that it will allow you to run on either 12v or 120v by flipping a switch, but does not charge the batteries when hooked to shore power. Before I get too involved in this things, y'all please correct me in this.

Your BW 6406 IS a converter. IF plugged into shore converts AC to 12vDC current for USE (not charging as noted).
The switch simply turns off the DC output and draws/supplies 12v directly from battery for use. Or more accurately selects where 12v source is from-converter or battery.
It may have an AC receptacle on it but it will only supply AC if plugged in- does NOT not invert 12V DC to AC.
