Ok now I am getting to understand. Is this using Shore Power and or Generator Power. Thank you so much for your help.

Now er shouldn't be running the batteries down to that level... 50% is safe - (I believe Trojan says you can go deeper) - so normal use down to 50% will take 4+ hours to recharge.
It will work if those timeframes are acceptable to you.
A higher capacity converter would allow you to charge faster which may be important if recharging by generator each day.
(A 75amp converter will shorten those times to 6 hours for fully discharges... 3 hours for 50%...)
