Greetings
Earlier this month I bought a 1992 GMC Vandura 2500 conversion van (Explorer package). It came with a 5 watt solar panel, basic interior readout, 2 tiny old TVs, tape deck/receiver, and a Nintendo game system. The solar panel goes to the van starter battery which the previous owner recently replaced with a 10-year battery.
How do I know what the house power capabilities currently are? I assume there's AC wiring for the entertainment systems but haven't poked in the cabinetry far enough to find any outlets. Do I assume there's a controller and inverter? Where would I find them?
I plan to replace all the old solar power components, but right now I'm faced with the challenge of better managing my budget and cheaper food choices so I can eventually get a couple lithium batteries and start renovating. If there's any house power I could use it would help.
