    Why do 40 amp relays have 12awg wire?!

    I know relays have contacts, I'm referring to the harnesses. This is an example of 40amp relay with included harness using undersized wire. https://amzn.to/3ZYIakd

    Why do 40 amp relays have 12awg wire?!

    Some good info. Thank you guys. I guess going with over sized relay, and just soldering connections is the best option.

    Why do 40 amp relays have 12awg wire?!

    Im looking to add a 40amp relay to a 40amp circuit under the hood for so me lights, and every relay harness I find has pigtails with 12g wire. Shouldn't 40 amps require 8g wire?

    Bushwacker Owners?

    Keep in mind, this is an assembly line built, manufactured trailer. Quality control isnt the best, as you'll find with any RV, and you might find some minor things that need to be cleaned out, tightened ect. If your at least somewhat handy, you'll have no trouble working on it, modifying, or...

    Bushwacker Owners?

    Yep ! Ive still got it, 2+ years and its still going strong. Ive made alot of modifications to it along the way, but its still a great trailer. Mine was one of the early models, so alot of the issues have been address in the later models like the HD. Ive got some vids on the tube, and pics and...
