What size wire (12-18 guage) to use for my RV battery run to my vehicle to charge it while driving?

Beno asked:


I have an old pull behind trailer with an RV (deep cycle) battery I bought to run the electrical inside. The trailer does not have any wiring for a vehicle charge while driving. I am considering just running a wire with a connect near the other trailer lighting connect (Rear bumper) and running wire all the way to the battery. I dont know which size wiring I should use, or does it matter?
