Here is my budget solar, inverter/charger and battery system in a 303RLS. I expect to use between 50 and 150 amp hours per day.
(2) SOK 206ah batteries $2,000
Renogy 40 MPPT solar charge controller $140
600 watts of solar panels $600
Xantrex XC 2080 inveter/charger $800
(2,000w inverter/80 amp charger)
Victron BMV 712 battery monitor $200
I do have a Champion generator for backup and the converter is still there but switched off at the breaker.
This is my second iteration of the system after a summer in SD and MT for 2 months with full sun to partial shade and limited hook ups. Then a winter trip to TX and AZ for 3 months including boondocking and partial hook ups.
Of all of this, I think the battery monitor is the most important component.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas.

Great have the Victron Bluetooth package all integrated. Victron the top name in world sailing cruisers due to its reliability and longevity especially in a marine environment . How do I know. My sailboat has had Victron components for 20 years and still working.
This allows us to virtually be off grid except for the air conditioner for which we have a Westinghouse IGen 4500 dual fuel super quite generator.
Best upgrade we ever did
Broken leafspring. Another….
