Otherwise, I think either of your suggested options are fine.
To answer hossross, I do believe that the converter has its own connection to the battery(s) and will charge regardless of what position the OFF/ON switch is in.
Last observation, that LP detector in the photo looks original. They have a limited lifespan of about 7 years. They will just start going off randomly to let you know it is for sure time. I recommend planning to change it soon to avoid the terrible audible reminder which will often be at the worst time.

Thanks for the pointer on the LP detector. I recently read about the limited lifespan and will definitely pick up a new one for next season!
My converter is a Parallax model 7345. Picture in my previous post. I will do a little research and see what it is capable of! At this point I am leaning towards removing the coach battery (1x 12v) for winter and maintaining it on the bench! It is a NAPA 27RVS so is a deep cycle!
