Greetings Dickn49,
I found a picture of the original battery installation on page 9-8 of your Owner's Manual, and I include a clip of it below.
Welcome to the forum.

Be aware that your 3-batteries are not all connected to each other.

Two batteries are Deep Cycle type and Parallel connected for your House battery bank. And the 3rd Battery is a different type of battery and is your Chassis battery for starting the Engine.

Drawings here if you want to go direct to "chassis wiring installation".

https://www.winnebago.com/Files/File...ire_148932.pdf

Not the best drawing as they crossed some of the lines over other connections, so I tried to draw them in colors to make more clear?

Click this snip to get a bigger/better view?

Green for chassis/start battery and blue for coach!
Connect two coach positive together and out to chassis electrical box.
Connect two coach negative together and out to ground bus bar down behind batteries.
Tie chassis positive to stud, meeting cable from generator and cable to starter.
Connect chassis negative to same buss bar ground as coach.

Note that they show the chassis and coach batteries turned different directions on this drawing. All positives are NOT in a row! Negatives always connect to ground on our systems!

They made it messy when they ran their negative line so close to the positive stud on this drawing!
