I have a 1997 Fleetwood Southwind 35' wide body 450/454, with two 12 volt batteries and I think there's an extra cable hooked up to the positive side of my motor battery.
Having electrical problems and the mechanic thinks there's an extra cable on the positive post instead of being hooked to the coach battery. I sure could use a photo from someone who has a like RV to send me a pic of the proper hook up. It's costing $93 per hour and I need help lol. Thanks folks
 
Well, you have two battery banks, House and Chassis. My chassis battery has 3 cables hooked to the positive

ONE is the engine cable, runs to the solenoid on the starter
one is for the Jacks
One is for the battery control center, steps, and house (the charge line).

The House, I believe had only one from the factory (possibly 2 but I think only one) ran to the Battery Control center.

I added a 2nd.
 
Where does the additional cable go?  That will tell you if it should be on the chassis or house battery.
