Updating wiring & circuits is a good thing. But, it's more complicated than wiring a house (unless perhaps you have a generator and solar panels).
Shore power breaker should indicate reverse polarity. Needs to be close to the shore power connection (6' as I recall) and sized to protect the downstream AC wiring to your AC panel. Smaller breakers in the AC panel will protect downstream wiring from there. For the AC outlets, I'd put the GFCI outlet after the AC panel and it's breaker.
I got rid of my A/B switches and used an on/off switch on each bank - less confusion. Alternator output went directly to the house bank. Charger/solar should probably do the same. When the house bank came up to voltage (13.5?) a relay closed and sent charge current to the engine battery.
For a computer, you may need a full sine wave inverter.
Don't wire it so you can run the battery charger off the inverter! Actually, the wiring (panels and selector switches) should prevent anyone from doing things wrong - it's not something you should have to remember!
