See the Truma AquaGo comfort DLE60C connection points and wiring example. Open the diagram in Crimp to add your equipment and plan the cables between them.
Open this example as a new project. Use your own parts and cable lengths to make the plan yours.
Use the diagram as a starting point for your installation. Replace the example equipment and cable lengths with your own, and check the connections against your exact model's instructions.
1 m one way
12 V system
Sized against ABYC E-11. The design current is the part's continuous draw. The length is one way; voltage drop includes an equal-length return.
The editable example uses 3.048 m (10 ft) runs unless a shorter run is stated. Metric overviews round these to 3 m. Adapt the parts and lengths to your installation before choosing cable and protection.
Current official manual pp. 30–31: dedicated 7.5 A fuse near battery positive. Minimum 1.5 mm² for up to 12 m positive-plus-negative total; 1 m each way fits. Keep the separate control panel cable and follow gas/water commissioning. Manufacturer installation manual

This is the US AquaGo comfort DLE60C, a propane instantaneous water heater with 12 V electronics and circulation functions. The technical table, page 15, lists electrical input below 2.5 A for comfort. That upper bound is the catalog load; the 20,000–60,000 BTU/h fuel input is not electrical consumption. Comfort plus has a different water-circulation layout.
The connection instructions, page 33, identify red as positive and black as negative. The control panel connects through its dedicated cable and plug. The catalog's control marker represents that proprietary connection, not a DC power terminal. Fit the panel indoors where moisture cannot reach it and secure its cable in the provided strain relief.
Use a dedicated 7.5 A fuse close to battery positive. The supply instructions and diagram, pages 30–31, specify at least 16 AWG / 1.5 mm² for a maximum 40 ft / 12 m combined outgoing-and-return length, or 14 AWG / 2.0 mm² up to 66 ft / 20 m. Include optional switch wiring in that total; its rating must be at least 7.5 A. The supply must have less than 1 V peak-to-peak ripple. These requirements supersede fuse values from other revisions.
The water-pressure maximum is 65 psi / 4.5 bar. The standard outlet temperature is about 120 °F / 49 °C, so mixing and scald protection still matter. Follow the exterior access-door, combustion ventilation and propane connection instructions; do not treat the wiring example as a complete water-heater installation.
Follow the manual's first-start sequence after the gas and water connections have been checked. Confirm the control panel, hot-water delivery and error display. For freezing storage, use the model-specific draining or winterizing procedure. Release water pressure and allow the heater to cool before operating the Easy Drain Lever; simply switching off the electricity does not drain trapped water.
Build it out
Add AquaGo comfort DLE60C to your diagram, then connect your batteries, chargers and loads. Crimp calculates cable sizes and checks the connections as you draw.
Every cable you draw there is sized against ABYC E-11, from the same tables as the reference on this page.
Technical reference
Check the model, ratings and connection points against your own unit before choosing installation hardware.
Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.
Catalog connection points, current direction and planning limits. Check the manufacturer's pinout and connector ratings before installation.

Method & provenance
Manufacturer specifications describe the equipment. Crimp calculates cable results from the circuit and assumptions you enter.
From the maker
Manufacturer, model, ratings and which terminal does what come from the catalog. A newer revision, or the nameplate on the unit in your hand, can say something different — when it does, the nameplate wins.
ABYC E-11
Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The run length and the current above are what drive the result. Crimp doesn't know how warm your space gets; draw the cable inside an engine-bay zone on the canvas and it sizes for the heat.
Next step
Open this example as a new project. Add your equipment and cable lengths, then review the sizing and checks for your setup.
