Yes, it (inverter) can be turned off but the problem is when I want to turn it on and live as I normally do, with the inverter on, on battery power. I live in my rig full-time and don't want to feel like I'm camping. I have many hours of work to do every day and my whole social life is on line so it's important that it feels like my home...all the time.
It's not a matter of whether you feel like you're camping or living at home, it's a matter of whether you are living on grid (shore power) or off grid (batteries). Shore power's got everyone spoiled, except for the bill possibly, you just plug in to the grid and use everything as much as you want. If you're gonna run off just your batteries you need to keep them charged. That could be a generator, solar, wind, hydro or whatever. But more has to go in than out. You have to find out what you'll typically be pulling out of those batteries. Your requirements appear to be too much to expect out of solar, so you'll probably want to plan on a generator. What kind? That's a whole other thread.
