I used what is called Marine BOAT WIRE 2-cond #12 gauge in a covered sleeve enclosure for all of my 12VDC lite wiring. Every cable carried its own ground wire. Although some DC wiring is to the trailer frame all of it comes from the DC Power Distribution Center with 2-conductors. One +12VDC and the other -12VDC. All of my 12VDC Battery wiring was 4 GAUGE ANCOR BRAND marine wiring which always had ANCOR ring terminals on both ends where possible. All of my BATTERY WIRING components were BLUE SEA products that has STUD connections.

My 1500WATT PSW AIMS INVERTER 120VAC ouput terminates in the panel mounted receptacle. This is my manual transfer switch for runing my trailer 120VAC items from my inverter.
