If you ever go the inverter route where you plug your shore power cord into the inverter so it is "whole house" you will have to turn off the converter. If the converter is sharing with the receptacle circuit then you can't use the breaker as a switch to turnoff the converter without killing the receptacles needed to run the television or whatever.
So you want the converter on its own breaker to be its switch or else sharing with something that is not going to be on anyway on inverter---but if on real shore power everything on that breaker still has to be under its total rating 15a or 20a.
If too impossible then you need a separate switch (on the black wire not the white wire) for the converter before it gets to the breaker it is sharing with whatever.
