protection in a basic off-grid installation

Hello, I'll be completely off-grid for some time in a remote place and I have a small inverter generator, an IP22 30A charger, a 600W inverter and a 12V lifepo4 battery. The idea is to charge the battery through the generator and have electricity in my caravan from the inverter connected to the charged 12V battery, so I'll use the standalone generator only few hours per day.

Can anyone provide me a diagram of this off-grid basic installation with an RCD breaker and circuit surge breakers? I wish to be protected against any electric shock.. from faulty appliances or lightning. I read that I need to bound the neutral and ground of my floating neutral generator but.. how do I connect the breakers in the installation?

I'm looking in google but I still can't find one and as you see, I'm a newbie

Thanks in advance

Does this installation look OK? I'm assuming the generator, battery charger and inversor are floating neutral. Ground rod isn't required as I read
