Do a search on wiring batteries in parallel, or series
This is one I found https://www.batterys...k-tutorial.html
You said a smaller wire that sound strange as the load carrying wires are normally the same guage if your not sure you might want to seek a rv repair center to ask for assistance.it could be very dangerous to short the battery terminals.Hope this helps.

No. between batteries should be pos to pos. neg to neg.
So there should have been 2 short wires plus the pos and neg wires to camper system

are you sure both batteries are 12v ? each battery should have 6 cell caps if 12v
well you charged them so would know ...

I just bought this hallmark and owner says they are 12 volt BUT... they only have 3 cell caps. Does that change the wiring if 6 volts instead of 12 ?
yup.
it matters, per link from Russ
2x 6v should be like this...
so no missing parts
all is well
but how did you charge them ? charger have auto select for charge voltage ?

Take a picture and show us what you have. Use a volt meter and see what the voltage is on each battery. If 12 volt wire in parallel. If 6 volt wire in series.
