Just need to be wary of running the other high amp draw TrailManor devices like the AC unit, but this would be true for any of the transfer switch solutions also. You could turn off the breakers for these devices if you felt so inclined. Sometimes the easiest solutions are the best.

The issue with doing that is that you are running your converter to charge the batteries while using the batteries to run the inverter which charges the batteries to run the inverter.... phew!! Made me tired just thinking about it.
Of course, you could put an "on/off" switch on the converter. Just remember to use it.
