I checked with Go Power, and the recommended size of the battery bank to use with the Go Power Solar Elite Charging System - 380 Watt Solar Panels - 2,000 Watt Inverter Charger # 34282184 is four batteries, as you can see by the accompanying cut out I added.

I also added a cut out showing a typical battery bank configuration so you can see how a bank would be wired. I do recommend also checking out the video review I linked for you of the Go Power Solar Elite Charging System # 34282184.

Can this system be used for an rv park model that is on a permanent piece of land with regular electricity as a back up if a storm knocks out electricity thnks

Unless there are regulations within the park that prohibit a solar panel setup, I don't see any reason why this couldn't be used for your application. The controller wouldn't allow for overcharging of the batteries so when you're hooked up to shore power like normal it just wouldn't work as much.
