Lead from +ve of starter battery to leisure batteries

I want to take a wire from the +ve connector of the starter battery under the van to surface inside the rear offside corner of the van where I plan to put my leisure batteries.
Has anyone done this, or can anyone suggest how to do it?
 
Up under the glove box to the top left. There you will find a rubber grommet that comes out in the engine bay right by the battery. Then just run the wire through the cab center section in the channel under the rubber floor matting.
 
Are you sure there is not one already there under the passenger seat?
 
I have done exactly this. I have used 7mm2 wire (60amp) which fits nicely inside 7mm diameter split convoluted conduit. If you follow the brake pipes down the nearside of the bulkhead, they are held by plastic clips which have an empty clip on each, the 7mm conduit is a perfect fit into the spare clip and looks tidy and OE. This gets you to a position underneath the passenger seat, from there, the conduit can be secured with cable ties accross to the offside, going above the exhaust heatshield and along the offside to the rear, there are lots of ready made holes to use for the cable ties. You might be able to use an existing grommet to come up through the floor in the rear corner, I drilled a hole to bring mine up in front of the wheelarch to where my batteries and B2B charger are mounted under the bed.
 
Thanks for these replies, I will investigate the one suggested by HotandCold.
I have already fitted the 2 swivels for the front seats so don’t want to have to take any of that area up again.
I am also going to have a sofa-bed arrangement along the offside with the batteries under the wheel arch area of that, which is why that suggestion sounds like what I am looking for.
Thanks again.
