7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter that Has 14 Gauge Wire for Power and Ground Circuits
Question:
Im a little confused here. You list the cable as 16 gauge and the ground as 14gauge. You do realize that unless the power wire is also 14 gauge you are wasting that 14 gauge on the ground. Why in the world is there only one 14 gauge wire for the power circuit? Do you offer a cable that has two wires that are 14 gauge?

Expert Reply:
We have the Roadmaster 7-way to 6-way coiled adapter part # RM-146-7 which has 14 gauge for the 12 volt power and ground circuits.
The reason the Blue Ox has a ground wire with a heavier gauge is that if more than one circuit was active on the the heavier ground circuit would be beneficial as all of the circuits have to run back through the ground.
