The DC and AC are separate in an RV. Most of the HOUSE appliances use DC current. The exceptions are
1. Roof AC uses 120
2. Microwave uses 120
3. Refer uses 12 volt DC to run the controls, but uses 120 volt to operate the Heat element when NOT using the LP side of the refer.
4. TV's and DVD/VCR's use 120 volt
5. Now we talk about what you are confused about. You see and posted pics of the Power Center which has the 120 breakers on to and beside which has the 12 volt DC fuses. The BOTTOM section is indeed the CONVERTER. The Converter takes 120 volt current and CONVERTS that to 12 volt DC. This is standard for almost all RV's. This is how you maintain and operate all the DC items in the house section of the RV when connected to 120 shore Power or have the Genset running .
6. INVERTER is not a term you need to worry about on your particular RV
INVERTERS take 12 volt BATTERY power and convert 12 volt DC to 120 volt AC current to operate selected appliances in the RV. When you do not use the Genset or Shore 120 power. Doug
