Greetings. I just replaced an old 12 volt battery with two batteries. I know how to properly connect the two batteries. I have a solar panel that was just connected to the two terminals of the old, single battery. But now with two batteries, how should I connect the solar panel? Positive to the + on one battery and Negative to the - on the other battery? Or to just one battery? Thank you.

Connect just as if the pair were one battery, i.e. the positive on one and the negative of the other. The same as you [presumably] have connected the pair to the RV 12v system.

Can we presume that you replaced one 12v battery with two 12v batteries in parallel?
If so, then yes. either of those options will work.
