Been searching this information all morning. Even looked up the wall plug in the parts look up. Does anyone know what AWG wire GD used from the shore power wall plug to the distribution panel in my Reflection 220RK. I am planing a future 3000W inverter in the front bay and a transfer switch by the existing distribution panel (10' to 12' run). I am wanting to order supplies such as ring terminal connectors, etc.
Most of the trailer wiring is 14awg. I am wondering if they used 10awg or 12 awg for this run? From the blue sea chart it should be at least 10 AWG. Now if I am in there setting up the transfer switch and have access to that wire run (shore power plug to distribution panel) should I up-size while I am at it?
Second question to run from the 3000w inverter to the transfer switch/ power distribution panel it looks like I need at least 8awg (8/3 stranded SO cable). However most of the wiring diagrams I am seeing folks are running 6/3, but maybe that's due to the 50a service in their trailers. If I use the critical table I should probably get 6/3 correct?
Thanks folks

On edit - the transfer switch is pre-wired with 10 awg, but this can be redone easily.
