Copper is best
Aluminum dosnt deal well with moisture and rain
For a 30-amp circuit running 50 feet, you should use 10-gauge wire. This size is generally recommended to handle the current safely while minimizing voltage drop over that distance. If you're running the wire in conduit or if there are additional factors like higher ambient temperatures, you may want to consider using a larger gauge, such as 8-gauge. Always ensure to adhere to local electrical codes and regulations.
The wire is normally run above the box height.
To run a 13,500 BTU air conditioner in a camper, you'll typically need a generator that produces at least 3,000 to 3,500 watts of starting power, as air conditioners require extra power to start. For continuous operation, a generator with a minimum of 2,000 to 2,500 running watts should suffice. It's also advisable to consider additional wattage for other appliances and devices you may want to run simultaneously. Always check the specific power requirements of your AC unit and any other equipment to ensure adequate capacity.
Wire size is based on the current draw of the device. It can be obtained from the wattage of the device by dividing the watts by the voltage. Once you have the current re ask the question.
You would need to use a wire size that is rated for at least 40 amps to be safe and to meet the requirements of the air conditioner. A common wire size for this application would be 8 AWG copper wire, which is rated for 40 amps.

By looking at your budget and costs of living currently. Then seeing how much you would save in the long run, after cutting current expenses out that the camper is does not need.
Yes, that is fine as long as the wire does not run underground. If it does run underground you need 14-2U wire.
no
If you have a new alternator its as simple as run the one wire to the solenoid. If you are converting the alternator to a one wire, you will need an external regulator.

The longer the run, the bigger and heavier the wire will need to be. The AWG number denotes the diameter of the wire: the smaller the AWG number, the bigger the diameter.
First of all you need to know how many watts your amp is. Next go to a place that has the kits. The kit will usually tell you what size gauge power wire you will need. You also need to determine or verify if you will run your wire thru the hood or thru the firewall of the vehicle. have a nice day.

The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
You need to run a switched, full-voltage wire to the "bat" terminal.
you just need a basic wire harness which you can buy from walmart. but you need to run your constant 12v wire to a wire that provides power as soon as the vehicle turns on. i suggest doing it that way. when i ran mine i went right to the battery and later found that it would drain my battery and eventually ruined the battery.
