Studying it makes me want to double check something about the cable coming to the house batteries that has the in-line circuit breaker:
Should this be connected to a positive terminal on the battery or a negative terminal?
Thanks again!

Typically the breakers (or fuses) are supplied from the +ve battery post (or via +ve cabling) supplying the positive battery feed/connection to the coach. But I don’t know your coach......so carefully verify your connections and ensure you don't accidentally short + to chassis.
No chuckling from anyone here because batteries can be very dangerous in terms of high currents which can vaporize a metal watch band, wrench or ring in seconds with resulting burns to the person wearing/using them; Not to mention possible damage to sensitive coach electrical items if batteries are hooked up incorrectly. It is a good thing to buy yourself a basic multimeter and learn how to use it to help identify your electrical polarities; voltages; continuity etc.
