Look at how a shunt is configured. Studs? You must be joking. Try 3/8" x 16 bolts. The professional way to wire is to have TWO BUSS BARS. One positive the other negative. Switch either polarity between the battery and the buss bar.
If your chargers need more than one connection, there are pretty little 100 amp brass busses that will work fine. I toss the #8x32x 3/8 screws and upgrade to stainless screws, nuts, and washers. One half inch long. Much easier to work with.
Wiring should be kept simple and intrinsic. The word means "intuitively understandable".
Think "original RV manufacturer wiring layout" then do the opposite. Hunt and peck to find wiring routes is a loser.
The more connections you expose to war-zone grade battery corrosion the more problems you will have, the larger the expense and the larger the headache.
