Those cables,like most wire terminations are custom made at Lance. With the price of copper, I can't see why they waste so much wire.
I actually saw wiring harnesses that were shipped in by vendors being unloaded when we were on a tour of the Lance factor a few years ago.
Note: You will find unused wires in your wiring harness too
I guess they are custom made somewhere - one size to fit many different campers. I did a better job crimping the ends than the supplier to Lance does and then I completed the job by filling the lugs with solder.
JumboJet... I know that you did it correctly... it's been a long time since I've seen anyone crimp and solder the lugs. You were trained well and know your stuff. We should all be so lucky. I would proudly follow your lead.
I have been very lucky, my guru is bigfootford... Jim has given me very good advice and guidance over the years... I do exactly what he tells me. I never fail to credit him for a job well done even if it's my hands doing the work.
I bought my finely stranded copper wire from an audio shop for the few electricl projects that I have taken on. Inverters and PVSolar, multiple batteries, the trimetric shunt, etc.
I too use the shortest possible wires, crimp and solder the lugs.
Thanks
