Solar System Question

[Moseh]

I purchased a used Jayco Pinnacle that has a solar upgrade. Four panels on the roof with a Freedom X Sine Wave inverter, charge controller and 4 batteries (not lithium).
It appears to be setup to run the residential fridge when not connected to shore power, but It doesn’t seem to be connected to run anything else AC. Would love to expand to have at least a couple more outlets (like for a coffee maker)

Could someone give me some instruction (in layman’s terms) on how to trace it out and maybe add an outlet or two?

At first thought I would suggest simply running a line from the inverter to where you need an outlet. BUT, do you have the capacity at the inverter? If the fridge starts it has a high load for a short time the a smaller load while it runs. A coffee maker can call for 1,000 to 1500 watts. If your inverter is a 2,000 watts max you could be way over that. Second thought, will you drain the batteries if you use that coffee maker often?

Last, a lot of factory setups will run the microwave off the inverter or have a dedicated socket for that purpose. I would check for capacity and also test all the outlets in case any are already on the inverter powered circuit.

As Roger R said, there may be another plug in the kitchen area that is already connected. Our 2015 had the outlet under the cabinet by the stove on the inverter.
