Need battery help

[Roaming_Violet_]

Hi all, COMPLETE NEWBY here. I bought a 1982 Itasca Sunflyer 27' from a person (did not tell me all the major problems) and they removed the positive/negative clamps for the second set of battery hookup cables. I have no way of knowing for sure which is which. One cable goes to a small box and the other disappears behind the metal wall.

The left hand attachment is the motor battery positive and the right side is the unknown cable. Should the right side also be positive?

I have a regular car battery and a deep cycle. I want to use the deep cycle for the house battery and think that is what the second set of cables are.




ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Take this to a qualified chassis mechanic, what you have is a solenoid so the other side is not going to connect to the positive side of a battery it is going to connect to something else like the starter. You are asking for troubles if you try and figure it out yourself. Have someone who knows what they are doing hook up the batteries and then explain the setup to you so you will know for future reference.
