1 run of 1/0 to the back to a junction box, 2 amps off of it and about 2000 watts combined.

1/0 will not support 260A for the length of a vehicle.

You must have missed something on the chart, i posted it again below. Pay close attention and read the information in the fourth line down, sixth column over. I stand by my post with the AWG Current Rating Chart to support it......... now prove your post.

American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits with skin depth frequencies

Don't get me wrong, not wanting to argue, no point when the facts are plainly there to see. So maybe you should think about who is giving out misleading and incorrect information...............

so by the chart, 2 2/0 gauge power runs are needed if pulling over 300 amps of current?
