[roybaker]

I am a new member, 2014 3155 Montana tow vehicle 2014 ram crew cab, 6.7 with full size bed. The question I have is about inverters and converters pro and con. I have the stock converter. It seems all most all of the posts I've read are about inverters.

You are talking about Apples and Oranges

Converter --- Converts 120VAC to 12VDC

where as an Inverter Converts 12VDC to 120VAC

Which one depends on what you are trying to achieve

Two totally different animals.

Most trailers/RV's come standard with a converter... to convert 120v to 12v and charge the battery(s).

Inverters convert 12v power to 120v, usually DON'T come installed from the factory.

What do you want to know/do?
