Wire gauge for Solera power awning?

I'm upgrading my manual pull awning to power and need to know which wire gauge to use. I haven't been able to find any amps or wattage for the motor.

Any ideas?
  • I read the etrailer link as 12/2 brake cable.
    description says 14/2
    12/2 would have less voltage drop

    14 gauge it will be. Thank you!
