Expert Reply:
Since you are running 50' of wiring you will want to use 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. Roadmaster has their Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75 which only comes with 30' of 12 gauge wire. You can build a similar kit with the wiring, Circuit Breaker # PK54220PL, two 10 gauge Deka Ring Terminals # DW05762-1 to connect to the circuit breaker, a 3/8" Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 for connecting to the battery and some Wire Loom # 7509-1 to protect the wire under your motorhome.
