There should be a sticker somewhere in or near the battery compartment that says something like: "White is ground, black is positive."

Uh, that is unless someone has changed things all around in your rig.

and then to balance your battery system, connect Battery 1 + to house +, and Battery 2 - to house ground

Any recommendations on a double-battery end-to-end box? The only ones I’ve seen start at $100. Or is there some reason two single boxes are better?

I dunno about "better", but two single boxes are a lot less expensive.

Never heard any pros or cons about a large single vs. two regular boxes.
