Help with wire size and type
(Don't know much about elec here). Couple years ago I started re- wiring a small class C. Any wire that looked bad (corroded, green, etc) was replaced with bigger wire and a new connection. Pretty hard to mess up going wire by wire and a camera taking pic's IMO. Fast forward couple years and I need to finish this project. I have some wire that I don't know if I can use in rv or not. I'm under the opinion if it conducts elec and bigger than old wiring it will be good to go. I didn't like paying for the new wire, was surprised how much it costs.
I have 127 feet of
(markings on cord in ink ) 8/4 type so 90degree C F-123 70 MSHA
(stamped into cord) P-123-MSHA
Is this stuff good enough to replace wiring? I won't use this stuff for any wire that is bigger such as battery cables, but for wire less size in diameter will this stuff work? I know it is heavy duty especially if your lifting it. Bet it weighs 40 pounds.
(Got this stuff because the campground lot at wanted to move us because the old elec went out (20 amp to each lot back then). They wanted to exchange for on of there unsalable cheap tiny junk lots. Permanently. One for one trade. No way!!! I picked up this wire at a business that tears down old commercial buildings. Think I paid $75.00 twenty years ago. I ran the wire in back of our lot to a friends lot and paid his elec until our section got elec re-built. Which took 2 years because of $$$. When we could use our "own" new elec again I stuffed the wire in front of 5th wheel compartment, and it's been there ever since, so trying to use it.)
