Inverter wire size?
So new to this, I'm wanting to connect a 425 watt inverter in my rig. What would be the minimum wire size to use for the 12 volt connection?

Don't forget to fuse this new wire. I'd be tempted to direct connect to the battery bank, as the "house" wire is not rated for more than 30 amps.
There may be "inrush" current that may burn out a fuse--unless it is a slow blow. DAMHIK
I'd plan on 40 amps, so #8 is the right decision.
