Hi,
It is totally overcast today with some rain and the RV is at 50.445265, -104.534980 It is 1 p.m. and the 256 watts of panels are charging at 6.5 amps, 13.6 volts.
Check with best converters, there may be a drop in replacement for the existing system.
Another option is to get a Magnum inverter/charger. That will allow temperature compensated voltage and up to 127 amps of current to the battery bank. This would be an add on so it would not require any changes to the existing converter. The OEM can be left in place for a back up.

Overcast days and camping in the shade are only part of the solar issue. For much of the year the days are short and the sun is low. The available sunlight is marginal and it takes a massive solar system to compensate.
I do wish I had an efficient charging system. Trying to replace my existing unit looks like a very big job. Overall I would just prefer a propane refrigerator.
