I know it might be hard to see from the photo, but here is what I have currently. I didn't realize that using 4 ga wiring would suffice in the manner I am wired(but I also didn't know as much as I do now when I did the wiring). Looks like I have to upgrade some more. Just top be very clear, each "pair" of the six volt batteries is fused with an ANL style 150 amp fuse(that means that I am fused for a total of 450 watts from the battery bank). The power distribution blocks have a total of 3 four gauge positive and 3 four gauge ground wires from the battery bank, all no longer than around 2 ft long.(the longer runs you see there running to the right are for an audio/subwoofer amplifier I have mounted inside the MH)
-I haven't looked too hard, but I thought that was good enough for the 2k watt inverter I had planned to use, that was supposed to be getting repaired.(turned out that the repair place had it 4 months and couldn't get the part for it)
*I do know that I can't go wrong with TOO much wire size when it comes to amperage and voltage drop, I just thought I was close to the minimum...oh well, looks like I'll have to go bigger...(stinks because I have two full spools of 4ga wire and tons of gold plated crimp ends on hand....maybe I'll just double up and plan to run an even large gauge from the distribution blocks tot he inverter I end up with.)
