Power cords are rated for a maximum number of amps (marked on the packaging at the hardware store)....

The fridge draws about 8 amps... the cabin light probably 2 amps... add the amps of what ever else you want to run (the stock radio connection is off the starter battery unless you change it)... total and then go look for your power cord.

    I recently purchased a westy that is missing the power cord. What gauge cord do I need to buy or does it matter?
