The converter also charges your battery. It is best if it always "sees" the battery as a load. This accomplishes several things, but most importantly it may actually be bad for the converter if it doesn't see the battery, that would depend on the design of the converter. About the only time the battery should be off is when the camper will sit for a period of time with no source of AC. The battery stores power from the converter that is put into it over a period of time. When you need high amounts of current for short periods, such as running the slides, the battery can provide it. You should not attempt to run the slides with the converter alone.
