'03 Sportsmen New Vision 5th Wheel, wire to the wall switch for the Overhead lights needs replacing. I do not see in manual anything for Wire gauge. Light bulbs are 12v. 3 connected to one switch and jumper to second switch to 4th light...Any idea what AWG I need or could use (safety)? OR any idea where I can obtain this information.

Welcome to the Forum from South Carolina. Calipers will tell you the wire diameter, then a Wire Table will give you the AWG.

Thanks, I was able to pull writing off the wire > L92693 csa am i a/b 10sc w60c 600v ft1 No AWG listed Looks like a 15amp fuse to box Would a 12 AWG wire work ok (as it is rate to 20 amps)? |

It is safe to use 14 gauge wire in a 15 amp circuit. The thing is that long runs will have a significant voltage drop on 12 volts DC and may need larger wire. link to a chart |
