Then, connect the negative/ground cable to the negative terminal of one of the batteries and then connect the positive cable to the positive terminal of the other battery. This is a photo of our connections, the ground cable connected to the frame with a copper lug, and the positive cable connected to the 12 volt breakers. In our rig, they used white for the negative cable and black for the positive.

Rohrmann, got a ? for you. I just replaced the 50amp breaker with the same 80 amp breaker you pictured (wired exactly like the pic). My ? is why does the power go through the first breaker then to the 2nd one. One wire on the load side goes to the slide motor and the other to the panel (I think). Why not connect the panel feed to the first 50 amp breaker load side (eliminating the jumper) and run a new feed from the battery to the new 80 amp breaker feeding the slide motor.
