Converter kaput need to buy better one.
I'm fairly sure my converter is kaput. It will not charge my 6VX2 Batteries and I want to go to two banks of 6V batteries. I did work for our summer 7 week trip. So how do you size a new converter....

You have enough generator to run a 100 amp or even higher amp charger.
A. What do you mean by "two banks"? Is this just the usual 4 sixes in series/parallel you can charge all at once, or some other set- up that you can only do two at a time? If so, why?
B. If getting ready to do more off-grid, why not an inverter-charger? They come with up to 150 amp chargers in them, 120 amp is common. You can do that.
C. Many prefer separate charger and inverter (me too),so you can still get a 2000w inverter and a 100 or 120a charger. (Again I like the PowerMax versions of all those, but there are other choices.)
BTW, nobody questioned whether your converter is indeed toast. Are you sure, or should we get into whether it is toast or not?
