Battery Wires

I took my batteries out in the fall and failed to take note which wires go where. Is black the positive and white the negative? I have a 2016 Bighorn 3270rs.

Positive is usually RED. One way to get it right is to locate the battery cutoff switch and trace the wire back to the battery. That's the positive.

Another way to check is to use a Volt/Ohm Meter to check for continuity of the negative wire to frame ground of the trailer.

Take your time. If you get it backwards, you'll blow the 3 on-board blade fuses on the Power Converter.

Dan is exactly correct. The RED wire goes thru a circuit breaker on is way from the battery to the battery shut off switch. The WHITE negative wire goes from the battery to a exposed negative buss bar on the wall behind the battery. Do not confuse the negative buss with the positive buss which as all the covered circuit breakers.
