You might run the new wire through a piece of wire loom. Cheap insurance.

Bill's suggestion is a great idea - protect it in the same way that automotive electric wires are protected under the hood.

My own "battery main wire" goes from behind the WFCO into a long length of 3/4" liquidtite conduit. That conduit goes sideways to enter the curbt-side TM frame bar, and then goes forwards to exit the frame at the front torsion bar hole and go up into my battery compartment (the dinette under-seat storage compartment) with LFP batteries inside. (They don't out-gas, and don't need venting. DON'T EVER PUT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES IN THAT LOCATION.)

My way was expensive time-consuming to install, and definitely overkill. (Although I'm using a bigger wire within that conduit.) Bill's way is great of standard up-front batteries, far more protective than the TM factory wiring, and easily held against the floor with just a few clips.
