Will it be ok to just change the one to an 80 amp? In the picture, the breaker in question is the far right one.

My bay looks really similar to yours. I kept the three original breakers from Keystone installed, just took the Lippert lead and routed it to the newly installed 80A breaker (I installed mine towards the back wall) so the Lippert lead curls down and back. New battery cable went to the 80A. Old battery cable is now the jumper from the 80A to the 50A I just removed the Lippert lead from. I kept the unknown lead attached to the 50A breaker. Not saying it's the best way...just what I did.
The 80A breaker will probably require different size terminal ends. Mine did (quick trip to NAPA)
Side note: While I was chasing wires around the outside of the coach trying to figure out flow paths, I wrapped same color electrical tape (different patterns) on the two ends of one wire once the path was found. For example: red wire-yellow tape/dual polarity solenoid power to red wire-yellow/80A breaker, this will hopefully help reduce the troubleshooting effort in the future by having the paths pre-identified.
