The solar controller will know when your on shore power (because it will sense the coverter charging the batteries and see the voltage at the battery end) so therfore WILL NOT overcharge your batteries while your are hooked up (Same thing when driving down the road with alternator charging system)?

I think the answer is YES but I thought I better ask stupid question NOW so I dont screw something up later.

So you can leave the solar "on 24/7" while in storage, driving, hooked to shore power on on generator power.

Yes.
That is the correct. I have been using mine that way for quite a few years now.
