You’re correct..When storing camper, I added (from Amazon) and use a car battery side-terminal post knife-style disconnect switch (had to get a little longer M-8 post screw)…In this way you can use the converter to power up the camper without overcharging the battery - also works perfectly during long term battery storage, isolate at about 50’ish % state of charge (SOC)…
One knife switch can be used for even two batteries connected in parallel :)
