For those not familiar with the differences, a converter takes 120 VAC (volts alternating current – like in your house) from either plugging into shore power or from your generator and “converts” it to 12 VDC (volts direct current — like your car battery). An inverter takes 12 VDC and “inverts” it to 120 VAC.
