I run those big ol' cables through a piece of plastic garden hose when I
run them near the frame or any other ground points. Then you can forget
about grommets and just ty-wrap the whole shebang. Keep those cables as big
and as short as possible. Don't want no voltage drop on 12 volt stuff.

Thanks, what I figured. It ain't going through bulkheads, I'll run it
inside the frame rail. Plenty of tie down spots along there.

First web site I looked shows 2/0 welders cable in red for $2.40 a foot in 25' or greater lengths. It has a scuff jacket on it anyhow. Or run black at 2.15 a foot. 2/0 ought to crank the coach engine at 25' Smile It gets sleeved where it passes through to the genset bay. Ever place else it will be in the openh, tied down inside the frame rail.
