I looked at this sort of problem and bought a "quiet" 2 KVA generator $600. It operates at the end of a 50 metre cable with a cover over it and won't be heard past 30 metres. It runs everything all night on about 5 litres of petrol.

I have a 75Ah deep cycle marine battery. Wouldn't use my car battery. I'd rather get another. Or a gen has been suggested by others also. No idea how to size one of those to meet my requirements. Yet.
