All rv's come with a converter, its job is to charge the batteries and provide 12v dc to coach for lights and such.
Some rv's have inverters installed, if it is inverter only its purpose is to create 120v ac from your batteries so you could run appliances say like a tv or a regular house fridge, it will run the batteries down though eventually.
Some rv's have installed as an option a Charger/inverter. This is 2 units in one, when plugged into shore power it will charge your batteries and also provide 12 v dc for the coach, when you unplug from shore and turn on the inverter part you are back to using batteries to make AC voltage. (in this case the factory converter is basically useless because the charger/inverter is providing the power for the coach.) I completely disconnected my converter since I do use a charger/inverter.
