Have you done an audit of how much power you will use?
Size inverter and batteries to that.
3000 watt is pretty big. Yes, 4 or 6 x 6 volt.
You will not recharge them by "driving around"
400/600 watts of solar or generator or both....
Can you install an on-board generator? Then you can get by with smaller inverter/batteries.
