50 amps... even 200 amps will not hurt the battery as long as it is at the proper voltage. Your 2-10-50 charger OTOH may release the magic smoke if you leave it on the boost/start setting for more than a few minutes. Use the 10 amp setting. But really just leave the battery in place and plug the main RV cord into the generator, put the charger on direct, and if your generator has an 8 amp 12v charge connection use that too.
I suspect after this trip you will get bored with all the antics and seek out a converter upgrade.
Atwood converter models seem to start with the amp rating. So 35 amps. Probably at a fixed 13.6 volts so it will go good for 30 minutes into a low battery but amps will taper quickly after that. That is when the portable will continue at 10 amps.
