I'm going to circle back to THIS ONE. It's similar to what the OP referenced but with a few different features.

Considering its size, weight, and capability it wouldn't be a bad RV power system upgrade for some people. 3.6kwh of LiFepo4 storage, integrated 4kw psw inverter, integrated solar charger of some sort, 30A of regulated 12VDC output, TT-30R power connector all wrapped up in a clean 100lb package. You could easily spend $3k on a comparable dyi setup.

The all in one in your link is $3,600, you can't specify the quality of the components inside the box, duplicates some items that would not be needed if one were to build and integrate a similar setup into their RV system with hand picked quality parts from known suppliers that are willing to back their products and do it for $3K and under.

But still, the problem becomes, just how do I refill all that battery capacity in the middle of the night when the sun doesn't shine and when there is no wind.. The answer is always, you must have some dependable non electric mechanical source (IE ICE gen).

Typical off grid home systems are often designed to take into account no solar or wind charging with enough battery capacity for up to three days of use for the whole house and plans will often also include a backup ICE gen as a failsafe.

Off grid homes have an advantage of lots of space for small to massive scale solar panels and battery banks.. RVs not so much, there are physical space and weight limitations with RVs.

The downside is nothing in this system is replaceable. As it stands right now, if one component fails the whole system is scrap. That would have to change to get me onboard. Maybe this issue will be addressed in the future.

And this is a big problem with many of these small no name outfits that often sensationalize "all in one" non ICE power solutions. Company reputation, longevity, customer care/service means nothing to them once they have your money. Repairing no name things becomes your job when the parts inside goes bad, it is up to you to figure out how to cobble it back to life by using other parts that didn't belong there in the first place. Otherwise off to the dump it must go.
