A CONVERTER is what is in the TT. It is a power distribution center, that regulates the type of power being sent to a particular device. It's
power source will either be from the battery for 12 volt appliances or 120V AC from a generator or shore power for things like microwave, air conditioning, etc.
All the lights in your TT are 12 volt.
An INVERTER can be a fixed or portable device that when connected to a 12 volt source changes the 12 volts to 120V AC. Portable units are typically connected to a 12V female receptacle in the coach.
The ability to properly charge your batteries is dependent upon what type of CONVERTER you have. Make, model & if it has a 3-4 stage charging system as part of it. You will need to be connected to a generator or shore power for it to charge the batteries.
