The current (amp) capability is determined by the wire size in gauge, rather than the voltage rating stamped on the insulation.
The most basic rating is 20 Amps for 12 gauge and 15 Amps for 14 gauge wire; however, it can get more complex than that for long runs of wire or for wires run through conduit with other wires. Hire an electrician if this sounds bewildering.
The amp capability of a 600 volt wire depends on its gauge or thickness. For example, a 12-gauge wire can typically handle around 20 amps, while a 10-gauge wire can handle around 30 amps. It is important to consult the wire's specifications or a professional electrician to determine the specific ampacity for your application.

The main difference is their voltage ratings. The 30 amp 250 volt rating is suitable for lower voltage applications, while the 30 amp 600 volt rating is suitable for higher voltage applications. It's important to use the correct voltage rating to ensure safety and proper functioning of electrical equipment.
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
With thick wires that have excellent insulation.

Amps * Volts = Watts Amps * 12 = 600 600/12 = Amps = 50 amps You would need a reserve capacity, so I'd go somewhere between 60 or 100 Amp rated transformer. Transformers are rated in volt-amps which is usually calculated the same as watts. But the term "watts" technically does not apply to transformers. So you need a 600 volt-amp transformer or, as Redbeard has suggested, you need an 800 or 1000 volt-amp transformer. That's a lot of amps for a 12 volt system so I recommend you double check your requirements. You will need a #2 gauge wire if your requirements are correct.

10 gauge will work fine.

A #6 copper conductor is rated at 65 amps. To connect to a 50 amp RV outlet you will need a four conductor #6 SOW 600 volt cabtire. The black and red wires go on terminals X and Y. The white wire goes on terminal W. The green wire goes on terminal G.
