Online research revealed a common problem with some hydraulic motors pulling too many amps. Lippert had a "service bulletin" recommending an upgrade from 50 amp auto reset breaker to 80 amp. 3 RV dealers/parts places looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for one.
I believe those motors run on DC. I'm no electrician, but I would never "upgrade" a breaker without first making sure the wiring will handle an increased load. According to a chart I found online, you need 4AWG wire to carry 80 amps. Anything smaller and you could be at risk for fire.
The article relates to boats but I think it applies similarly to RVs.
