Ok! Just updated my profile, I have a Ford Chinook 1990.
Yes, it's connected to the vehicle battery. I'm really thinking that for a solid long term solution I should just get a 1000w inverter in between the solar system and the transfer switch box, then I would be connected to the house battery.
I'm not sure about the disconnect switch I could unscrew it to take a look, but the generator is not an option anymore, I'm getting rid of it. It's broken and repairs on it ,with the high cost of labor at the shop, would not be worth it. I might just sell it on eBay for super cheap for someone who would want to take the time and make it a project of repairing it themselves (or if anyone on here is interested).
I have a 400w inverter and I'm thinking of starting with that, connecting it in between solar system and transfer switch. Is that a good idea?
