[VAL] sizing an Intelli-power



I'd like to replace the old Uni-Volt battery eater in our 1979 31' 
International with an Intelli-Power and charge wizard. Can anyone offer 
a recommendation for the number of amps I should be sizing the 
Intelli-power at? My Airstream manual suggests that the main breaker is 
a 30 amp; the general circuit is 15 amp; the appliance circuit is 20 
amp; and the A/C is a 20 amp.
60 amp seems to be the most common for RV's. However, I'd like to be 
sure I "right size" the Intelli-Power,  as too big requires larger gage 
wires to the battery and to the fuze box I'm told (by Progressive 
Dynamics- the Intelli=Power mfr).

Cheers!
