Lithium battery in storage compartment 292RL

[Miko38]

I’m installing a lithium battery in my pass through storage on a 292RL, there is a pos and a neg solar charging wires that connect directly to the lead acid battery and the black ground cable that attaches to the frame. There is also a single red wire that looks like it attaches from the bus bar in the pass through to the positive of the lead acid battery. I seems like I should be able to attach the pos of my lithium battery directly to the terminal that the lead acid battery was connected to. Run a ground cable from the lithium batt to the frame, and then run the wires from the solar charge controller to the lithium batt. My only question is does the positive cable that runs from the bus bar in the pass through to the lead acid battery go into some junction box that has other wires in it, or is it a single wire running from the bus to the lead acid battery?

I installed two 100 ah batteries into the passenger side of pass through compartment on our Delta 292RL. They are right between the white panel and the pump. The original battery up front had two red wires on the positive terminal and one short black wire that attached to the frame. Sorry I forgot the gauge of the wires. One of the red wires (the thinner one) came from the solar controller and the other red one (thicker) was attached to the little copper busbar that is behind the black removeable cover that hides the pump. They were both direct runs without any junction boxes. I cut of the lugs off both wires. Then I pulled the wires back to where they went up into the pass through compartment. I was able to then push the two red wires up a few inches up and I easily found them with my hand by reaching behind the white panel with water valves and such. Then gently pulled them back into the storage area. I trimmed them back and crimped on new lugs so and attached them to the positive terminal on the batteries. I used four busbars to to terminate the loads and batteries which was probably overkill. I then took the old black ground wire from up front and I bolted one end to the power return busbar and the other end to an exposed piece of frame inside the pass through. Unfortunately I don't have pictures and I'm about to leave for a week. If you can wait I can take some pictures when I return.

Thank you for the reply, that confirmed what I did also.
