Want to add DC circuit to Northern Lite
How difficult is the wire routing? It’s a 2014 10-2 and I’d like to add a separate circuit to in the cabinet below the TV. Looks like access to the DC panel would be easy through the rear dinette se...

Just an off the the cuff response. I don't have a TC, so no direct knowledge of your situation.
Likely whatever factory wiring that is in place was routed during construction, and will likely be difficult or impossible to follow now that everything's put together.
If you have a free fuse circuit on your DC panel, route the cabling in whatever manner is most accessible for you, and will keep the cable out of your way.
For 12v, I recommend Ancor duplex marine cable. 12 ga for a 20 amp circuit, 10 ga for a 30 amp circuit:
Westmarine
It's very nice cable, very supple and the strands are all tinned to resist corrosion. Genuine Dealz will likely have it for less, they didn't pop up right away when I searched.
Home Depot carries a selection of easy to use plastic surface-mount wire track, that may be of interest. Wiremold brand I believe.
