Hey Wayne, so SmartPlug recommends that you use 6 gauge wire with the SmartPlug RV Power Inlet # SM56FR but they don't list a max gauge. I would just go with 6 gauge and you'll be good.

Thank you Jameson for your help. I wanted to use 6gauge and now I feel better that the factory recommends it. Take care!
