No your system runs on batteries the shore power runs the converter to charge the batteries and it also runs anything in your rv that is 110 powered. You have to realize all your lites are 12 volt not like the first rvs many many years ago that had both 110, 12v and gas lighting. As well as 12v and 110 plugs.

Not sure what you mean by disconnect the house batteries. They need to stay turned on. The 120 V converter keeps them charged as you use the lights, fans and other 12 V fixtures.
