Interesting van you have there, Mike. My brother bought a 66 split window van many years ago from an old, old man who built a camper interior in it. It had a 6-to-12 volt convertor and connected to that was a 12-to-120 volt convertor so he could watch television. 🙄 The 120 volt convertor was grounded to the body of the van! ❗ The T.V. antenna was mounted on a bracket on the passenger side of the van and the antenna was something that you would put on the roof of a house, it looked ridiculous! As soon as we got it home, that came off with a hacksaw. It also would supposedly start on 12 volts as it had 2 six volt batteries for that purpose and would run on 6. Naturally none of that worked and I had the privilege of fixing it all.
Cleaning it out one day, we found some very old black-and-white pornography tucked under a drawer. 😮 I guess he wasn’t a very clean old man. Another thing he showed us was a 1958 Corvette that he bought new and had 24,000 miles on it. Amazing! Another thing that’s amazing is the prices these old VW vans go for these days! One sold at an American auction for $160,000.00 or thereabouts.
