I'm no expert but, yes I think you need a new upgraded (smart) converter as well. I did that on my TT when I added 2 deep cycle batteries and you have a lot more.
I concur ... with 600+ amps of battery capacity, you want at least a modest 60-75 amp unit that'll take ~5 hours to charge (assuming you abide by the 50% discharge rule) up to something like a 100-150 amp charger.
The capacity of the charger / converter depends on what your AC source is. If you have a "2000 watt" generator, I'd stay under 100 amps... figure 100 amps * 14.4 volts is 1,440 watts close to the 1500-1600 watt maximum for a "2000 watt" generator
If you have a bigger generator, get the biggest charger / converter you can afford, using the same math above.
