I have a new to me newmar dutch star 1997 vintage. while putting in a set of new house batterys 4 6 volt batterys it seem to me the wiring of both banks of batterys is not right all the acessories cableing is hooked to the starting bank and the house bank just has the main feed cables only.
what I am looking for is schematic of the battery wiring and photos to compare to my coach.
thx in advance mike

Your wiring was probably correct. There will be some smaller circuits on the chassis bank . These are usually safety circuits like lp, CO, detectors and battery disconnect, boost solenoids and such. The house or coach side will usually only have the converter/charger with distribution panel or inverter/charger, distribution panel and generator cables connected to 12 + and at least one ground cable.
