An inverter uses the 12 volt coach batteries the power 120 volt items connected to it, residential fridge & possibly a couple plugs, typically not the microwave or the entire 120 volt system in the coach.
A converter uses the 120 volt incoming voltage, be it shore power or generator, to power all the 12 volt items onboard & charge the batteries. If running lots of lights, the furnace or the batteries are getting weak not holding their charge the cooling fan will run constantly due to the converter running constantly trying to maintain the batteries.

Sure - Clarification follows:


The originator of the post owns an Aria 3401. This model of coach uses an inverter and has a firefly panel where the controls for the inverter exist.


With that in mind, I made the suggestion of setting the inverter into pass-through mode.
