Recommendations on RV Converter

Question

Question:

Looking for the following ability: Ability to provide 13.8 VDC @ 60 amps And ability to provide 115 VAC at 30 amps Using either external 115 VAC power from generator or house power Or from a large Li Po battery bank. Bottom line, using one power distribution device when located near 115 VAC source I need to power both AC and DC equipment at the same time. And when in the wild I need to be able to power both AC and DC equipment from a battery bank or generator. Can you recommend a device?
