I am running two paralleled 12v deep cycle batteries in our new imagine 21bhe.
Positive wires from the converter and solar charger are connected to battery 1 and the negatives are connected to battery 2.

My setup does not have a positive dedicated load wire. Where in the DC system should I connect it?
Thanks in advance

I can't quite tell from your picture how you've wired your setup. The diagram below shows the best way to wire your batteries in parallel (it shows 4 batteries but the idea is the same for two). Wire the positive (load) to one battery and the negative to the other. It looks like you have a shunt. That should be the first connection from the negative post.
