Deb,
DEFINITELY treat the two 6 VDC batteries as one 12 VDC -- aside from
maintenance, just forget those two jumpered terminals exist -- as if they
were inside one big battery case, which is, in effect, what you have.
Incidentally, using a 1 gauge jumper with 4 g. elsewhere would in no way
(other than cost) be a bad thing. Considering the length, even a 4 g. with
1 g. elsewhere wouldn't be very bad -- since it's not a starting battery,
you're never going to approach full current load anyway.
Good luck getting your OLD Onan serviced by Cummins. Unless they happen to
have someone OLD working there, you'll be lucky if they know anything about
it. Previous reports have not, in general, be favorable.
