You might need to call him back and listen a little closer.
I'll bet he said something like: the battery will take up to 50 amp charge.
So if you have a 60a converter like me, with 4 lithium batteries; they are only getting 15a each.
That's not a lot, but way faster then a converter into a wet cell battery. 15a in till it's done, per hour. KENBackpacker and tent camper all my life, including BSA as a kid and adult.

I have 2 Battleborns and the 9160ALV convertor. The one time that I drained my batteries down the OEM wiring got pretty warm until they got charged back up so be careful with a larger convertor.
I also had an issue with the OEM resettable breaker tripping. I going to change it because its not big enough for a large amp draw that occurs when batteries are drained low.Allen & Denise

There's a lot more information needed to understand why you have that issue.
Wires get warm normally, that's why they have a temperature rating. A normal 90℃ (194 ℉) rated wire would feel way too hot to touch, yet be totally safe.
Breakers trip both on over current and/or temperature for many reasons... loose connections, over current, corrosion, faulty breaker.
Check all of those things first, but NEVER put in a larger breaker than the wire is rated for.
Believe me, it well worth the aggravation to reset the breaker than have your RV burn down.

Have you considered doing a dedicated 20A receptacle that goes directly to the charger? Every shore power post I have seen has either a 50amp or 30amp hookup as well as a 20amp standard outlet. Same goes for every generator. This would remove most of your concerns except possibly the gauge of wire from the charger to the battery bank.
