This unit was vandalized and we're trying to rebuild it. The fuse box, furnace, fireplace, microwave, etc. I have no wiring diagram and bought the unit in this condition so I don't know what it is supposed to look like. The thieves just cut wires everywhere. I have 2 batteries connected at the front of the RV, however, I have no 12v supply to the fuse box. The battery disconnect is intact, but has no effect in either position. Any chance there is a 2023 MY wiring diagram available?

The junction block at the very top of this picture has a B- and P- marking on it. The B- side is connected to the negative battery post. What is the P- side supposed to connect to?

That picture looks like a battery smart shunt to me. The P- is a continuation of the negative side from your battery.
I believe the negative should continue to your fuse box.

This is what it looks like. Was never in a junction box. I thought this was unusual when I bought it new. But GD does this on most of their trailers. Just out in the elements.
 
That's helpful. Thanks. Do you have a picture of the fuse box? This fuse box was stolen so I'm having to install another and I'm working blind without a wiring diagram. Thanks
 
Suggest you reach out to GD customer support with your VIN. They may be able to help you with some sort of wiring diagram. What @markandkim shared above should be helpful, they may be able to share more based on your build.

Helpful thanks. Does anyone have a wiring diagram showing the connections for this battery smart shunt? Also, where is the primary chassis ground?
 
On my unit, there are 2 black 6 AWG wires coming off the P- post. However, both are disconnected as I don't know where they go. Currently, it is an incomplete ground circuit.
 
Here is one that is close to your smart shunt. The only difference is yours is mounted upside down as opposed to the one in the picture:
