I think the title makes sense.
Pretty much I want to put an Anderson plug mounted to the trim on the passenger side in the boot area.
I will be running a 16mm cable and want to know what is the beast way to get it in there?

Along the chassis rail then up through the floor at the back in a GU
In a GQ through the fire wall then under the kick plates and into the back is pretty easy too. If you are running a fridge then go big mate. Voltage drop is a bitch.
Cheers. Yep is for me GU
And it's for my compressor. Draws about 63amp under full load.
16mm2 5 meters is good for 87 amp :) with a .6V drop.
lol I ran 50mm2 to the back for mine. i then had enough to run a fridge too and also enough that the wire was not running at the high end of its limit and getting hot.
50mm2, that's crazy. But hey better to always go over. What size anderson plug you use?
Works out you could run 270 amps through that cable.
50amp of ebay
I also have a fuse board in the back and run a compressor hard wired, a LED setup all switched separately, a double Anderson plug to run 2 fridges when touring and an inverter and also an Anderson plug to the bumper for the camper when towing but its handy to run a lead off to run the fridge out of the car it need be.
Nah never too big. I ran wire to the back of the GQ 3 times and each time was not big enough and each time got bigger and bigger. 50mm is perfect. Never had a problem since. If it aint as big as your finger it aint big enough! bugger the maths.
I am going to run 70mm to the winch ;)
Needs good insulation as well if running along chassis rail.
Look at some double insulated wire. Run that to a junction
box and branch off that to suit your needs, use a thermal
circuit breaker, rated to your requirements at the battery end
as close to pos + as possible, Step wiring down as required.
You can go TOO BIG but you'd notice it, Check someone's winch
Thats as thick as welding wire, and just does the job, if most had a choice
something bigger would be the go. Big rubber bungs under the back on
each side, sometimes these trap water,
I have Gu and ran mine through the firewall on passenger side then through the kick panels up to the back. Was 6 BS which from memory is 16mm2 and it terminates at a 6 way fuse box which currently has fridge plug and awning led lights wired in.
I'll take pic of the Redarc panel filler , as above I think they ran 6mm figure 8 to rear panel
Used mainly for awning light or just as extra 12 v outlet. Note small toggle switch,
this is for my rear cargo led light.
