I would go bigger on the solar and battery for more independence. You can get more value in solar by going direct to the larger 24v panels and MPPT.
epever 40 amp MPPT on amazon $150
640 watts $280 at SolarBLVD.com
Make sure these large panels will fit. Oversize shipping is expensive so check local solar installers for some surplus.
Consider a small inverter (300w) to run the tv and laptop without firing up a generator. Running a large inverter (2000w) may take a 3rd or 4th battery due to high current loads.
