how often do you expect to be on EHU and how much do you expect to typically expect to take out the 460AH battery? that determines how powerful a charger you need.
If you are overnighting on a site - say arriving at 6PM, departing at 10AM, then you have 15 hours of Charging (knocking off 1Hr for setting up/breaking down camp). If you have taken a lot out the battery, then might need a 30A charger to be fully charged before departing. If you are topping up, then a smaller charger would suffice.
Given the charger is likely to be on and running overnight, I would avoid one with a fan - they can be very annoying at night.
