This was my concern when plugging the trailer in *and* using an external charger. Both the converter and standalone charger will be hooked to the battery and may confuse the other. If both are “dumb” chargers, then they’ll both be running full bore. If one (or both) are smart chargers, they both might kick down to a lower charge.

This is obviously not what you want.
