I went out to the warehouse and pulled a 35 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness, # A35W42B, and used a wire gauge tool to measure the wires. The copper wire itself is 20 gauge. If you measure the wire with the insulation on it then it is thicker but wire gauge corresponds to the strands not the insulation part.
