Simon there are a few guys on the Foretravel forum who've added lots of solar and LiFePO4 with nice results. You might get good ideas by joining and looking around there. If you have basement air conditioners you have a large roof for solar.
Couple questions, do you have a propane fridge or residential? That alone takes about 100-120 amphours/day. Do you plan to run an air conditioner on battery alone or just use your generator when needed? That would be the largest usage and could get expensive quickly.
Sounds like a nice plan, nothing like being in a remote area and enjoying the quiet!
BTW LiFePO4 electrolyte does not burn, it might smoke but won't burn. I had a cell leak and out of curiosity tried to burn a few ounces of the electrolyte. Wouldn't want to breathe the smoke but no fire!
