Power cable gauge?

[Tailfins]

I hope someone can help me. I need to know the gauge of the two-wire power cable that runs from the truck battery to the camper. Naturally, I'm talking about the one that is included by Four Wheel. Any additional info, such as make, type, etc. would be useful too. (I know that it's stranded copper.)

Thanks!

Looking at the stuff that is in my camper I'm almost sure they are running a duplex primary cable in 10ga like this stuff: http://www.allbatterysalesandservice.com/browse.cfm/4,4655.html

That is what they are running however depending on how many amps are going to be going through the line and how long of a run it is that may or may not be suitable for whatever you're doing.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I called Four Wheel and was told that they use 10 gauge stranded copper, double-insulated outdoor cable.

Thank you for your replies.

Make it easy on yourself. Go to the Despot and get some 10 ga landscape wire. Its cheap, insulated and weather proof.

Nice call Jay, I wouldn't have thought of landscaping materials.

Is landscape wire solid or stranded?

I've seen both.
