I don't think I would be wanting to install a relay with unknown amperage
rating in this situation. (I used a 70 amp relay in my installation).

Does the wiring diagram call for installing a new/larger wire from the
starter battery to the auxiliary battery? If not, forget the kit. The stock
wire is too small, except perhaps in the weekender if it came with an
auxiliary battery stock. If the Hella kit does supply a wire to run from the
starter battery then it should be a minimum of #8... otherwise, forget the
kit.
