Those forum posts are still going to be helpful. You'll need to do your own research and get educated on this stuff before you're done. No one will do it for you.
Here's a starting point:
1. Start with shore power. You need an inlet and most people use 30 amp receptacles.
2. Tie the shore power into an inverter. Many inverters auto switch between shore power and battery, and other inverters need an autotransfer switch.
3. You can use the same inlet for the generator power.
4. Pick a battery chemistry (hint: LiFePo) and get enough amp hour storage for you needs.
5. Go back to before step one and determine what appliances, lighting and other devices you need to power and come up with a power budget, then do step 4.
If you were to do solar you'd get some panels and a charge controller, then plug the output of those panels into your battery. Solar is almost completely independent of steps 1-5 above.
Like that.
