Thanks to a bunch of you and your advice we're about to purchase some 10/2 AWG Tinned Marine Boat Duplex Wire to use in wiring our macerator. Since we're buying it we're wondering how much to get and figure we might as well get enough in case we need it for something else. But, we don't know what else we might need it for. Hence, this question.
What else on the GMC coach might we use 10/2 electrical wire for and approximately how much in length would we need for each application?
In case someone else is looking for this wire it's on ebay and the guy lists it all the time so there's no rush in getting it. He sells it in various lengths. His price is the best we could find for the type of wire it is - free shipping too.

A second question while we're at it. A number of you offered advice as to what switch and circuit breaker to use. We're looking at 12V 20A for both. However, we've seen several marine 12V circuit breakers similar to what we use in home electrical systems in that they trip when there's an overload but could also act as a switch. Would using the circuit breaker as a switch as well wear it out over time - good or bad idea? Your thoughts appreciated.
Thanks again to all,
