Go for the biggest cable you can run and not worry about it in the future. All those lengths and connectors add up.
The rig has a 1800 watt inverter and we'll be using it to power the 2 TV's, a CPap machine, a sewing machine periodically, and a toaster periodically. Based on your input it looks like 2/0 gauge is a good option for me.
Thanks for your help
