Can Someone Please ID these?

There are 4 cables on the positive post of my house battery. The independent #2 gauge I am guessing is for the emergency start system. The other three, ganged together, are a #4 gauge and two #6 gauge cables. What are these for? Thanks

One probably goes to the generator another to the leveling jacks as well as the main house power (disconnect switch)..

That is what I have on my 2021 Redhawk 24B.

Cable A is 2x 4AWG cables that connect to the main house power
Cable B is a 2AWG cable that connects to the generator
Cable C is TBDAWG cable that connects to the leveling jacks. Its wrapped in that cable conduit and I can't tell the gauge of the wire.

I just disconnected them all and connected them one at a time to the battery to determine what they were connected to.

Hope this helps,
-Brian

Thanks. But I don't have leveling jacks. The two Cable As I have are live all the time. Key on or off.

When I was testing my rig. I disconnected shore power and all the cables connected to the main battery. I confirmed zero voltage on each of the cables and then connected them one at a time to the battery and looked at what was working and not on the rig. For example. If "A" was connected I would get a low voltage warning if I turned on the auto-leveling system. When "C" was connected the low-voltage warning went away and the auto-level system worked. It was a total process of elimination to determine what each cable was connected to.

Good Luck,
-Brian
