Charging Battery with Solar Panel
I recently purchased a used 2019 Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS. It came without a general owner's manual. There is an input on the side that I was told would allow a solar panel to charge the batter...

Good input from KD4UPL. Solar, batteries and all house loads are connected in parallel. This means that solar ouput powers house loads then any excess charges the battery. So lights, refer etc reduce the battery charging if any from solar.
"if any?" Yes if the house loads are more than the solar output then the extra power comes from the batteries and they discharge.
Generally 100W of solar is used to keep a battery charged in storage with everything turned off. And generally more solar watts are needed when camping.
