Alternator is fine.

30 amp is fine... especially with no air conditioner.

2000w generator is fine to run everything else and charge batteries.

Minimum 2x Group 27 or a pair of GC2. If you expect the inverter to run the microwave, hair drier, coffee pot etc you better have 4+ batteries.

I would buy wire according to the load.

That is a lot of power in roof lighting. I would have recommended LED.

Diagram is a bit simplistic but is fine.
