I was recently researching similar things. I found this article on four ways to install an inverter. I found the information to be very helpful. The method that looked the best to me was wiring a relay from the inverter to the converter so when the inverter goes on the relay automatically shuts off the converter. The article does a pretty good job explaining it.

What I have decided on doing is installing the Victron multi plus. It is an inverter and charger/converter. It will replace my oem charger.

I hope it works out for you, let us know what you did and how it goes.

EDIT-your 100 watt solar panel probably won’t charge a 4 battery bank very quickly or it may not be able to fully charge it.
