1) Bigger wire = less voltage drop. 2) If it has LED lights they draw far less current and you can get by with smaller gauge wire 3) HOWEVER if it has electric brakes I prefer 10 Gauge for that circuit 4) The most common problem on trailer wiring IS POOR LOOSE RESISTIVE CORRODED GROUNDS 5) I like to use soldered connections then covered with heat shrink and liquid tape to keep moisture and dirt out.
