Ok you have two different battery banks. The instructions may be the same.
Coach (Chassis/main) adn HOUSE (Aux)
Easiest way.
Day one.. Take a bottle of nail polish (red) or 2 (Red/black) and paint the wires. positive wires get RED. negative black.
Option. Spray paint
Take multiple photos showing where each and every wire goes.
Day 2: Disconnect the batteries starting with the NEGATIVE terminal if more trhan one wire attached use a bread tie or string or other means to tie all the wires together (zip tie?) Then do the positive wires. INSULATE these (Wrap in plastic wrap) Remove batteries to battery store.
ASK them for the battery size (NOTE it is printed on the label)
This is how I did my Engine battery.
NOW: In some cases it will cause a hardship to be without batteries.. IE: House systems if you do not have shore power) but if that's the case get ye to/from the battery store.. QUICKLY.
When you install the new batteries pay attention to red/black and the photos you took
IF changing from 12 volt to six volt pairs (each pair is 12 volt) make sure you know what you are doing first (Go to 12 volt side or life or park next to me or someone who understands this stuff if needed)
