Nope. Just 300 watts.
Yes it just powers a tv, dvd, Chromebook and other small items as needed. Has run the fridge when the propane would not ignite.

You don't need a bigger inverter. The inverter needs to be properly wired into the campers 110v electrical system. Then you just can't run anything that exceeds 2000 amps for a single appliance or as a combination of several appliances.
I have a 1000 watt inverter wired into my 110v system and it works flawlessly, I just can't run anything over 1000 amps which gets us by just fine.

Yes switch off the converter. May as well switch off water heater and air conditioner too. Set the fridge to propane only as it might be connected to GFI or General circuits.

I'm guessing the "you need a bigger inverter" suggestion means they were using the built in transfer switch in the inverter?

Is your 20 receptacle really directly fed from shore/generator power or is it from the 120V distribution panel?
Also, do you have another ATS in the Shore power / generator block (that you've left out for simplicity) or do you manually plug shore power into the generator?

is your shore cord in or near the same basement location ?
yes ?
then step (1) is turn off the circuit breaker for your charge converter
step (2) put fridge on LP, put water heater on LP
step (3) use what ever adapter is needed and plug your shore cord into the inverter
turn on inverter
reverse process when you need the generator
BEFORE you start the generator
Step 1... Is that just a circuit breaker in the panel? I don't think I've seen one labeled that before.
