Solar power/batteries

Hi, i have bought a scoobyvan trailer conversion and it came with a solar panel and 12v battery.  What would be the best way to up the amount of power to make it 240v (i want to add 13amp plug sockets and usb sockets)

Maybe add to the one battery i already have and maybe more solar panels....?

 

If so how do i wire this up?

 

The trailer van i bought came with solar panel, 12v battery, portable tv, fridge (hot and cold), sink and gas hob/grill.

 

All the electrics run straight off the 12v battey. no converter.

 

my plan is to strip the trailer van back to the shell and start over, using what bits i can salvage from it.

Why do you want to go to

Why do you want to go to 240V?

May I suggest you stick with 12V for safety reasons.

I wanted 240v so I could wire

I wanted 240v so I could wire in some plugs and then run any appliance I want and not have to get 12v appliances. I'm an engineer by trade so handy with tools etc so I'm always safe when dealing with electrics. I'm just used to fuse boards rather than car/leisure batteries
