installing load lights to my featherlite just wanted to know what gauge wire would be best to run to the switches and then to the lights. I want to run them from a battery and how would i run a wire to charge my battery.

The electric load would depend on the type and number of lights you are installing. Some of the utility types are 55 watts each, or about 9 amps for a pair. A dedicated circuit for a distance of 20 -25 feet would require a 16 ga wire, but I would use a 14 ga in case you had any future lighting ideas.
The hot wire off your truck can be used as a source for a battery charging circuit.
