The inverter also has a second job of also charging the batteries when plugged into shore power.

The inverter only has one job 12V to 120V but you have a converter built in to the Xantrax and also a relay that switches between the two in the model inverter you have. I purchesed just the inverter for my rig as the converter that comes with the MS is a good one so why not use it. Also saves $$
