While we all know results may differ across RVs... even of the same model/year... but in my case:

If my use/store switch is in STORE (batteries disconnected) - and plugged into shore power - my rig has all 12v devices powered by the converter... so there is connectivity for the converter to power the RV (and makes sense for all to work on 110/220 if batteries aren't present.)

Really all (batteries/converter/12v load) are all wired together (with disconnect for battery and fuses to protect load) - so either power source will work.

With everything in place and connected - the actual supply will come from the path of least resistance....
