If it were me i would do it this way... All 12VDC loads coming from the top POSTIVE TERMINAL shown in this photo. If you are going to have many DC Circuits the best thing to do is install a high current multiple TAP BUS BAR. I would never put more than two 5/6-inch ring terminals on one connection. The reason is that both battery cable wiring will be drawing the same DC Current from each battery. i.e. the Battery Terminals wiring is the same length for the same DC Load...

This is not so much a big deal for small DC CURRENT loads but for the very high DC Amperage loads it really comes into play for both 12V Batteries seeing the same load...
Doing this helps the two batteries maintain the same performance over time when seeing the same discharge and charging DC Currents...
For installing a monitor shunt I would place it in the NEGATIVE Terminal cable and frame ground. With the batteries balanced in the above photo will then show the total DC Current being monitored... This also gives you bit of protection from shorting things with the low potential DC Current that will be feeding your monitor DC AMPS meter movement... I would put a small current fuse in this line feeding you meter. The DC Current here will be a very low reading current wise.

The Battery Experts on here can explain it better than I can...
