The hydraulic pump draws a boat load of amps especially in colder months. The converter just isn't made for that kind of amp draw for very many cycles.

Not sure which converter you are referring to?
I am not concerned with any long term storage, we own at a private RV resort and store our 5er there typically for 1-week to a month at a time, whereas I would prefer not to have to disconnect cables every time, this is why I am considering a back up solution for that rare event the batteries are very low when I show up to move it from storage to our camp space.
