Stay away from WFCO converters if you go separate components. I assume you have at least four house batteries so 55 to 90 amps should be fine. Look at Progressive Dynamics 80 amp or IOTA 65 to 90 amps should serve you fine.

Have you considered moving to a sine wave inverter? I recommend Go Power either 2000 or 3000 watts.

I like separate components so if something fails you still have some usability and just replace what has failed.

And yes you could get by on 30 amps charging if you have lots of time.
