Hi RV Builders
What size wire should I use from the battery to the starter?

Dayton,Dayton Murdock said:I want to know if can I use a smaller size i.e. 4 or 6 ga. wire for the starter application.
Davepar said:Using a smaller wire will cause the wire to get hotter and provide less voltage to the starter. Not sure if it's a large or small effect. There are formulas (in the Aeroelectric book) to calculate the amounts, but I don't have them in front of me right now.
