Eagle 29.5BHDS - Battery Terminal Question

I have a question. I pulled my battery out over the winter to keep in storage/charged. It is now time to replace the battery and I went to install and i don't recall which terminals went where. I have three white whites and one black. One of the whites is a ground and the black is positive/hot but I have two other white terminals. Do all three white wires go on the negative terminal and only the one black on the positive terminal? It looked like I left the two white terminals and black terminal together (come from front of trailer) and the ground was on the negative side in the box so that is why I am confused. Thanks!

There is a thread right now about a battery that got hooked up backward. Do yourself a favor and post some pics so somebody can help you. Don't just guess

Definitely recommend a picture. My 325BHQS has a red and a black only. No room for confusion. I just installed one of these this morning so I can quickly disconnect the negative Terminal without removing the terminal.

If I can ever finish my day job I'll go take the battery cover off and take a picture of mine (same camper)

In my 29.5 BHDS, only the red wire goes to positive. YMMV:

Thanks for the quick replys and posts. I have a 2016 and looks entirely different. I actually have two black and three white terminals. Turns out the extra terminals are for the solar charging system. I called Jayco and General Trailer today - both rather helpful.
