[QUOTE="condor22, post: 515419, member: 1932"] I have a C7, the wiring to run my 3 way fridge (18' van) is 6mm all the way to the fridge. My car puts out 14.4V average, by the time it gets to the fridge it's 12.9V. 12.9V is a good voltage for a 3 way fridge. BTW that is the voltage with the fridge running, so under 13-14A load. Put a 30A fuse under the hood and good to go. I cut out battery charging for the van as it drops the voltage below 12 with the fridge and the fridge didn't hold temperature too well. But I have 200W of panel to do that when driving anyway. 35mm wire is approx 6.6mm dia copper + the insulation. Up to you, but overkill in my opinion. But if you want to use 35mm use it. The van wiring is 6mm from manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
