Yeah, cost is always an issue. With my current setup I have 6' of 4 gauge running from the inverter to the battery location on the tongue (12' in total for positive & negative) so my plan is to replace my aging G27 flooded with a G31 AGM, place it in the front pass through storage compartment near the inverter, and use pre-terminated 18" 1 gauge starter cables to connect to the inverter. That, combined with the fact the AGM has even less internal resistance than a similar flooded, should noticeably reduce voltage drop under heavy inverter load. Should SOC at any given time result in voltage drop that causes the inverter to alarm I can still always load support the G31 with my truck (running) as I've done before. Obviously 2 G31s would be better but the cost for the limited use I would put this to can't really be justified. I could also use even heavier gauge welding cable but in my case, for my intended use, I think the 1 gauge will suffice without breaking the bank. ;)
