I understand how the inverter hooks to the batteries. Let me rephrase things a little. Can I build a 200 watt solar system and plug it directly into the camper outlet and run it like usual.

I just want to know if it will technically WORK and if so, how is the efficiency of the solar system affected by running into the camper electrical system. Thanks.
As I understand your proposal, the simple answer to the above is NO, you cannot do as you suggest.
