How to wire 6-6V batteries-Oh yes, I'm still here

Thanks to all that have responded to my query. So I'll let it be known, I'M NOT GOOD WITH 12V WIRING. Series vs. Parrallel-- Daisy chain, those words don't mean a whole lot to me.
I've looked at all of the diagrams and I DO understand the drawings and how to wire them.
SO HERE'S THE TWIST in my situation. The diagrams show 1 (one) black (negative) wire coming in to the set (6) batteries and 1 (one) red (positive) coming in.

MY SITUATION is I have 2 (two) Black (negative) wires coming in to my (current) 4-6volt AGM's and 2 (two) Red (positive) wires coming it to my bank.
I'd go on from there trying to explain how I connected the additional 2-6v AGM's but I'd probably just confuse everyone.
So, I can attach a picture of the current wiring diagram and how I attempted to connect the additional 2 BUT SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO INSTRUCT ME ON HOW TO ATTACH A PICTURE.

HELP!

  • Still you are going to use a single point to connect ALL wires from/to the RV.
    Where the diagram shows to connect the negative... connect ALL negatives.
    Where the diagram shows to connect the positive... connect ALL the positive cables.
  • Use this app to post pics.

    As to the double wires going to the battery bank, my guess is that the reds and blacks are connected somewhere down the line. Something like boths blacks going to a single ground lug and both reds going to the inverter. If so, then connect 2 six volt batteries in series (one positive to one negative), then 1 red to the other positive and a black to the other negative each set of 2.
