LFP on Shore Power with Inverter/charger?
An inverter/charger requires that you have a battery connected (or some 12v source) so it will supply any 12v to the RV. (Unlike a converter that will do 12v with no battery) Some say not to float...

How so? You could use lead acid and need 3-stage, temperature compensated charging, do your best to only use 1/2 the rated capacity so that they will last a reasonable period, remember you will only get a fraction of their capacity if you use them hard (peukert), remember to account for their voltage drop as you use them, and make sure you regularly charge them for 12 hours so they don't sulfonate.
The only reason folks think lithium chemistries are more complicated is that they have come to accept all the requirements of lead acid as 'normal'. In an apples to apples comparison the care and feeding of lithium is far simpler, most folks just aren't familiar with it.
Too many people think Lithium batteries are some kind of black magic and need to be treated like a disabled uncle. We have been using Battleborn for about 1.5 years. With 1250 watts of solar and the solar controller set to the voltages recommended by Battleborn they are totally maintained by the solar. I do give them a shot from the PD converter before we leave on a trip. Often do not turn on the converter when hooked to shore power. I have a circuit to disconnect the converter when on inverter power and then reconnect if I start the generator.
