It's overkill, but when I wired in my brake controller and battery

Holly ***! That is more than "overkill". I am surprised you are able
to turn your trailer. With wire of that size, I am surprised someone
hasn't stole it to sell for drugs. :-)

I wonder if John H. found his problem.

I boondock a lot without generator, so I wanted the battery recharge
system to have as little voltage drop as possible. I did a similar
upsize on the trailer wiring between battery and fuse block -- I want
lights, not warm wires.
