Default AC generator plus inverter to start deuce

I have had my deuce for about a year and have had nothing but problems with the electrical system. I have finally been told that there is a design flaw in all the alternators ever built and it grounds out in a few days? Whatever. At this point I am sick of buying batteries and battery chargers that then die on me (grrr pepboys) So now my collection of dead batteries has reached a point that I am thinking of other options. I should mention I have come up with this idea because I am in an apartment and dont have outside AC lines to do the normal battery charger truck start thing.
I want to get a small ac generator with a 24 volt inverter that will start the truck. Store it in the battery compartment or something. But I have no idea of the requirements I would need. Someone want to give me an idea of where to start before I start trying to read manuals and pulling my hair out. I am deff not great with this whole electrical terminology thing. Will any AC generator work or will I need a certain wattage? Is the inverter more important or anything that will do 24V good enough? Or do I get the AC generator and use a massive battery charger that would start the truck? Ideas...?
