Well you can forget about no hook up camping, which is not just boondocking, but also state and federal parks which commonly lack electrical hookups. You'd need a massive battery bank.
This seems a little harsh. But I would think a investment in some solar is in order. Solar is fun and pretty cheap now. One of the great things about solar is it is working anytime the sun is shining keeping your batteries topped off. This gives your expensive batteries a nice long life. With solar you can definitely boondock. But if you want ac you will need a generator.
I have been using my honda eu3000 for 12 years now and it has been great with a run time of 20 hours. If I was buying now I am sure I would be looking at Champion or the harbor freight inverter generators. There just too reasonable not to look at. But that being said I have nothing but good things to say about a honda. I keep mine welded to a cargo rack locked into a receiver hitch on the back of my 5th wheel or on the front of my pickup if using the truck camper. I like this better than having mounted in the rig. I feel more comfortable sleeping with it not built in.
My eu3000 runs my 15k ac and lite loads just fine. But with your fridge and wanting to run 2? AC's you would need more power.
But solar is something you should seriously look at it. Like I said it is fun and extremely handy and way more reasonable than it used to be.
