Decided to replace all four batteries and forgot to take picture of the connections.

Can someone with a 2017 Jayco Seismic 4212 please post a picture of the correct way to connect the four batteries. They are stacked up on two separate trays.

We are on the road and most time no access to internet, so thank you in advance for responces.

That's the easy part. Now you have to know which trailer wires go where on the batteries.

What KD4UPL said.
Also, they will last longer if you take efforts to wire them in a balanced manner as on the diagram below.


Or, the 2nd best, an almost balanced wiring - diagram below:


And, lastly, how you should not connect them - diagram below. It is still "correct" but terribly imbalanced:


For those who are interested why, here it is: http://www.smartgauge.co.uk/batt_con.html

Then hook all the positives together and all the negatives together.

It's critical to know whether you have 4 - 12 volt batteries, or 4 - 6 volt batteries.
