30 amps at 120vac is 3,600 watts... 3600 watts at 12v is 300 amps. You'll have no problem running a 100amp converter off your 30a electrical system.
Depending on efficiency you'll need 12-15 amps at 120vac.
3000 amp dead-short discharge on those bad boy batteries, make sure you use a CLASS T fuse, not a wimpy ANL or dc circuit breaker.
I doubt his class B has proper DC wiring to carry such high current, even if he does upgrade to a 100A charger. And I am wondering where two L-16 batteries can be safely mounted in such a comparatively small rig.
You raise several valid points. New batteries are not a "drop in" replacement for existing / old batteries. OP will require significant upgrades to several facets of the DC system.
