Interior wire gauge.......

I have an 03 Cedar Creek 30 RLBS that my family and I love to death. But, just for curiosities sake, does any one know what gauge interior wire was used? Such as from the breaker box to the AC, or to the fridge, etc. Thanks in advance for any info....

Most 120VAC wiring I've been into is 14 gauge.

At least in Heaven, RVs will be perfect, and I won't have to keep fixing them.

Our unit has everything from a #4awg to #16awg depending on the service. As stated though, most 120 volt stuff has either #12 or #14 ran to it.

Just in conversation ... many of us have encountered this over several years ... RV manufacturers don't hold the electrical installation to the same standards as a stick house. If you've ever been in the underbelly or behind the breaker panel, there's always some "innovative" wiring examples no matter what brand you own.
