I installed a Xantrax marine charger years ago and still works beautifully.
The original convertor should be at least completely disconnected. In my case I removed it completely to eliminate any confusion and have a clean final installation. Those old convertors are really poorly built and aren't worth anything.
If the old convertor is still hooked up it will confuse the smart charge computer in the Xantrax and could even cause damage.
Being the old convertor is still in there it is not a professional job by any means and should be gone over by an experienced 12 volt systems installer before plugging into the shore power.
The inverter side to your new unit could become damaged if not done proper.
Years ago while not paying attention, in a hurry, I hooked up one battery backward and damaged the Xantrax. I told Xantrax what I had done and they sold me a new unit for cost.
They told me their units have protection fuses in case of incorrect wiring mishaps but the problem is most time the circuit board gets damage before the fuse can blow.
