Should Inverter On Or Off
If you're plugged in, then the inverters don't cause any problems --
and may actually be necessary as they usually are also battery
chargers. You do need to monitor the charging condition to ensure
that the batteries aren't overcharged.

As for the SOB, it depends on how the coach is wired. Probably they
can be left on if the coach is hooked to electricity. It's probably a
good idea (on both a WL and an SOB) to turn them off if the coach is
to sit unused for some time. Even better is to have a battery
isolation switch (as used on many boats) to disconnect the batteries
completely when the coach is going to be stored without an electric
hookup.
