4 gauge is plenty for a 12" run. It's what we used. 

The switch will have a jumper going to the pole of choice on the battery, we used +, to one pole of the switch. Then on the other side of the switch will be the wire from the Pod that is currently going to the + post. 

On our pod, the second wire went/goes to the power tongue jack. 

Our pod was from before "solar ready" so we just attached our solar panels to the battery posts when needed. 

Then when the stuff gets even better.. dual Trojan T 105's for serious boondocking..
