I have what I hope is a simple question. I bought my Born Free 26 foot unit a little over a year ago. Since the Covid, I did not get to use it last summer or winter. So when I parked it I did not take a picture of the battery wiring in the battery box. I only had one battery in the box. There are 3 cables in the battery box. A short black one , a short red one and a longer black one that I believe goes to the shut of in the step well on the driver side. The wiring diagram says the wire to the shut off should come off the positive side. Is that correct? Thanks for your help.

Yes, that is correct. Use an ohmmeter to check which one of the 3 cables is connected to chassis frame ground. That cable should be connected to your battery -terminal. The other 2 cables need to be connected to your battery +terminal
