Helpful Expert Reply:

I recommend using the 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Wire # SWC97FR for installing 10 of the LED Trailer Side Marker Lights # MCL32ABB on your 23' shell. While the 18 gauge wire is larger than you need for the very low amperage of these lights it is not as delicate as the thinner wire and less likely to become damaged on your RV. The wire is sold per foot allowing you to get what you need.
