I am guessing it is 2/0, but any confirmation of that would be greatly appreciated.
On my coach Thor used number 6 wire (55 amp) from the battery compartment to the power center and from the converter to the battery bank.. The store /use relay is only rated for 55 amps continuous. For the leads to the jack pump and generator start, Thor used number 2 wire and for the 1,000 watt inverter Thor used 0/0 wire. Connections between the two batteries are 0/0 wire and the leads to the 100 amp and 50 amp circuit breakers. Wires need to be sized for the max amperage load on that circuit. 0/2 wire is rated for 200 amps.
