Wow guys! Thank for the quick replies.
I want to start off saying I am a novice when it comes to electricity so I will do my best to describe what I am talking about.
I am sure that the wire is 8g. I had also thought it was small. I was recently at my local camper dealer and looked at other models of campers they had on the lot and they were all 6g coming out of the camper.
The junction box I was referring to is on the tongue. The wires come out from under the camper and go into one side of the box. The wires from my seven-way and from the battery go into the other side and are connected inside with wire nuts. It is a very tight fit in there.
The 8g from the battery goes to a 30 amp circuit breaker, also on the frame, then into the box where it is connected with the wires from the camper with wire nuts. As far as where the converter is, I don’t know. It is in the walls somewhere but it can’t be more than 10 feet away because that is about how far away my fuse box is.
Could the wire size be a reason why I am having trouble retracting my electric awning on the battery? The awning works fine on my generator.
Do you think it would be better to run 6 gauge from the battery to the junction box? Could this improve the amount of electricity I can draw?
Thanks for letting me know it is OK to get the battery cables from the auto parts store. I was thinking I could but some say that you should get a higher quality cable than what is available in an auto parts store.
Any torque owners out there have any similar experience/setup? Is it just mine that has 8g?
