One other question. Do these new supplies come with a fan for cooling the unit? The current one to my knowledge does not. The 7300 will chronically undercharge the AGM batteries.
Get a Progressive Dynamics replacement converter. If going 50 amp... may as well get the full 50 amp Progressive Dynamics load center. Only hard part might be pulling new 50a NMB cable from the entrance to the new panel. If access is easy it will be a slam dunk.

wow this was confusing for a minute, you tagged onto a thread that has been dead for over 15 months.
Yes, it is possible. When I got my camper, it had an old glass tub single stage charging parallax and I upgraded to an intellipower 4000 series power center which is a 30amp panel but the next step up in the series, the 4500 series is a 50 amp input power center. I did have to cut the opening about an inch bigger in one direction and 1/2 the other so just be prepared you may have to do a bit of modification to get it mounted properly.

You have a Converter/Charger, not an INverter/Charger.
They are two completely different pieces of equipment as someone described earlier.

I am just going to leave it alone and replace the circuit breakers. The 20/30 dual breaker. Has always worked just fine until I had to deal with high outside heat. When the heat is not high the A/C works fine. Just not worth the expense to go to 50 amps just for an occasional problem. I also need to figure out if the fan inside the unit is good or bad. I never hear it on.
