They fit!
If anyone needed to know if 6 Battle Born 12v 100ah batteries fit in a 2017 Thor Venetian, here is the answer.

"Vaark"......Nice job... you can do one more thing to make it more efficient. You have the main negative and positive cable on the first battery. It's more efficient and will draw and charge better if the negative cable is on the first battery and the positive is on the last battery in the system, or vice a versa.
Simply move the positive cable to the left battery, closest to the door, in the photo.

+1 there is always voltage drop across interconnect cables. So the 1st battery will always have the highest current draw, shortening it's life.
The op did a good and neat job - a little rerouting and it'll be a great layout.

Yep, it should be most positive and most negative. I'll change it.

I guess it’s true you do learn something new everyday 
Now I have to figure out how to remember it.
