Checking the charger should be as simple as putting a dvm on each battery bank and observing volts after turning on battery charger (with engine off). You should see about >13.0 vdc when charging and about 12 or so when not charging. If it's a Charles you may want to check the internal fuses. A bad battery can blow the output fuse and I would think a shorted fan could take out the ac line fuse. Here is a link to the manual

No direct experience but I hear Mastervolt and Victron have very good equipment should you need to replace. As for increasing the amperage output from what I know the charge rate should be sized to keep up with the house load. if Tiara put a 50 amp charger in there that is probably enough. That said going higher output won't hurt anything.
