    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fuse Size, Wiring Plan Review

    Thanks Jon, The # 4 wire runs from the truck battery to the camper, so it is the longest run, therefore the double fuses. As I am apt the go off road a bit, I double fuse often. But you are spot on with thoughts about short runs. On the adventure Fred
