Are you talking about an Inverter or a Converter ?
Inverter takes 12VDC and turns it into 120VAC
Converter takes 120VAC and turns it into 12VDC
If it is the Converter, you want to leave that on when you are connected to shore power. It maintains your battery and provides the 12V needed to operate most/all lights in your RV and in many (not all) RV's the 12V is required to properly operate the water heater, air conditioning and/or furnace
