[Rhodes22-list] 12 volt wire gauge from OB to Cabin (10' maxassumed)

[Chris Geankoplis]

Art,
    I used tha best and heavest set of jumber cables I could find (lots of
strands, so very flexable and about 4 gauge I think.)  They were not that
expensive I just cut off the clamps and crimped/soldered the appropriate
connectors on.

both service and price.
