tidying up the battery hook up
On my Creek Side 20fq there is two 8ga. negative wires and two 8ga. positive wires going to the battery. There is also a wire coming from the electric tongue jack. I assume one of the hot wires is from the solar and one is for running everything else. And similarly, one of the negatives is screwed right to the frame and I assume the other one is the common for all the 12v everything. I was thinking I could get a nice 4"x4" or 5"x5" weather proof J-box and come into two lugs with the two negatives and the two positives. Then go out with just two larger wires like maybe #6 or #4 to the batteries. What do you guys think? I could also go out with a nice heavy jacketed 4 wire 6ga. Then there would still be the two each for negative and two each for positive, but they would be real tidy in a jacket.
Thoughts?
