The circuit rating for the motor on the Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack part # LC298707 is 20 amps so you'll need to use this along with the distance between the jack motor and battery to find the correct size wire. You can find charts online but I will list some lengths below as well.

8-10' = 12ga part # 12-1-1
12-14' = 10ga part # 10-1-1
16-24' = 8ga
