I put remote jumper studs on my coach too. Needed it one time and that was worth it.
I am very interested in how this is done, but I can't find the other thread. So can someone explain?
I ran cables back to studs I put at the rear of the engine. Bolted to a cross member.
My real question was how did you mount the positive stud? It can't be mounted on metal, so how did you isolate it from the frame or chassis? How long was the cable run?
isolated it on the metal plate.
The run is about 4 foot or so. My batteries are under the turbo in the back so it was pretty easy

Exactly what I used
Hi Elliott,
There are so many jumper terminals offered, which one did you choose?
Got the biggest remote terminals that NAPA sold. I do not have the pat number but they are large studs and they are mounted on a steel plate that I bolted to the rear.
Here are some pics of my installation.
Hey! Who burned my 5/8" Snap on wrench in two? Lots of exposed potential there....
I have to agree with you about the exposed bottom portion of the terminals and I am actively looking for some sort of protective covers for them. I am also considering some sort of "flap" to cover the upper side just for some added protection. Any suggestions?
How is the positive stud isolated from the metal plate? Is it necessary to run a negative cable? Why not just run a short cable to chassis ground? Or maybe no cable at all? The metal mount is going to be at ground potential, isn't it?
