Will pick which wire to use for input when I get to that. :)
The mystery is why it still was pulling 30 amps when it ought to have been fewer amps draw with the fatter wire. Suggestion was it might be current limited for draw. Might be.
One threat was if a low camper battery bank caused the input amps to go way high and overtask the alternator. Fatter wire was thought to help with that if there is no current limit on input.
My test has none of that info, so somebody else can deal with that.
