If an inverter was planned from the onset, I'm not sure why we would use an inverter and converter in lieu of an inverter/charger. Perhaps cost may be a little higher since converters are inexpensive (difference between inverters and inverter/chargers can be significant), but using an inverter/charger should make wiring simpler, plus use less space overall. I also think it would make troubleshooting and repairs a little more straight forward. For these reasons I would prefer going with an inverter/charger if option was available.
