Pleasure way excel coach battery wiring hookup

[isharpe]

Hi: New RV owner, and first post! I have a 2012 Pleasure way excel (on a Ford chassis). I made the mistake of not labeling the wires when I stored the battery inside for the winter. Now I'm not sure how to re-connect.
There are 4 wires - red and black thick guage automotive wires (I assume they are same as always on a North American auto: red is + and black is -), and 2 other thinner guage wires - white woven cloth covered, and black plastic covered, with white tape wound over top. I tried hooking all 4 wires up with white cloth wire to + post, and got big sparks, so am assuming I need help.

Why would you do that?

I don't know if it is too late for a photo,
but it is always good to post one even if it does not mean anything to you.

To avoid possibly damaging some component, I would contact technical support at PW.

Called pleasureway. Very helpful. black and red wires with black protective sheathing over them both have red tape on the ends, so they are +ve. That leaves the 2 other wires, one of which has white cloth sheath, and the other has black plastic sheath with white electrical tape wound over top. Both of these are -ve
