What Gauge Wire for the Power Wire of the Prodigy RF Brake Controller
Question:
I need to run a power wire for my RV receptacle. How much of a load will it draw? 30 feet of wire to a battery, or can I take power from the rear lights? Prodigy rf power wire

Expert Reply:
For running the power wire of the Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR you'll need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot ran through a breaker like part # 9510 up to the positive post of the battery. If you tried to use the rear taillights as a power source you would draw too much for the circuit and would blow a fuse.
The most it would draw depends on the amount of axles but should be around 30 amps.
