Can two AC sources be merged?

I have a small camper. Input to the AC distribution panel normally comes from a 30A shore power source. I can also feed the distribution panel from an inverter powered by an LiFePO4 battery. The inverter output taps into the distribution panel on the same bus bars to which the shore power connects. Thus, it is possible that the camper could be supplied by shore power, and if the inverter were plugged in then both shore power and the inverter would be supplying power to the camper at the same time. That seems like it could potentially be an issue. Am I wrong? What would be the outcome if it were to happen? I'm thinking it would be good to install a manual transfer switch, so that it would be impossible for both shore power and inverter power to be connected to the distribution panel at the same time. But I won't bother if it is unnecessary. Please advise.
