Flap motor

I am wiring the flap motor to the VPX system but cannot find the proper AWG wire size for it.

The VP-X flap motor circuits can source up to 10A, so 18AWG wire is a safe bet. The Vans-supplied flap motors most RV's use won't ever pull nearly that much power though. However, moving down to 5A breakers and 20AWG would be false economy here, since you'd like to not have to rewire these runs if you ever decide 5A isn't enough.
