There is a heavy red (#6) cable running behind the overheads on each side of the bus. This is the interior (coach) power. These cables join at the left front corner of the bus and run down to the battery compartment. Trace this cable run and find a logical place to separate it from the automotive system and connect it to the new batteries instead. Remember to provide a charge for the house batteries. A Schottky charge splitter or combiner relay can be used for this purpose.

Put a disconnect on the automotive batteries so they will be fresh when its time to start the Cat.

I suggest using the 4-6V batteries for the house and a group 31 or a pair of group 24 or 27 batteries to crank the Cat. This will provide more power for the coach and plenty for the Cat.
