What governs the size of the wire for a camper is the load that the camper draws when fully loaded. If you are referring to a camper as one that is on the back of a truck then the wire should be around #10 to #8 which will give you an ampacity of 30 to 40 amps. Make sure that the proper fuse link is installed in the feeder line on this project. Find the wattage of the devices in the camper and use the following equation. The equation to use is Amps = Watts/Volts.
AWG 10 guage.
Wire size is based on the current draw of the device. It can be obtained from the wattage of the device by dividing the watts by the voltage. Once you have the current re ask the question.
Copper is best Aluminum dosnt deal well with moisture and rain
25 percent larger wire for 50 feet.

Cannot answer this question. Will need to know the voltage and amperage of the circuit. Also need to know the application i.e. is it a lighting circuit or a motor circuit?
If a person is getting a shock from touching a cable television connector to the metal on a slide in camper, there might be a ground wire that is not connected. Check the main fuse box in the camper and trace where the ground wire goes. It may need to be connected more securely.
Wire is sized by the amperage that it is allowed to legally carry. To answer this question the amperage that you need at the garage must be stated.
