solar queation

I recently bought a Renogy 200w system for my camper. My question is do I need to worry about other sources of 12V power such as the vehicle 12V supply or 12V from the converter while plugged into shore power? Since it will get power from the sun I don't plan on using 12V from the vehicle. But what if I have the generator running for AC, will it make any difference to the battery if it is getting 2 sources of 12V power? Thanks

It will not make a difference. Each unit detects battery state of charge and adjusts its output accordingly. You will be fine. This is assuming your renology kit came with a controller. The almost always do.
