Jim , at some point Electrolux morphed into Dometic.

I was reliably informed theyre one and the same, but as it was someone at Discover leisure told me I cant guarantee it

If the cable run is an appreciable length then I would go for at least 30 Amp plus rating on the cable.

sorry, things have been confused, the cable is for a 12v toilet, not the fridge...its a Thetford Electric loo.

Must be something to do with the thread title!
Although 3A does not sound like enough for a turd munching pump, I'd check that.
Anyhow I'll shut up then.

the pump in the loo is just for flushing water and is, if you take the thing to bits, just a submersible pump like the ones you gorigios dangle in your watr porter's so isn't very high drain, just red the specs for the current drain etc on your water pump and use those.
