Running a non switched wire to the bed of my truck

Upon further thought, I’ve decided I’ll run a second power wire to the bed of my truck, so that the second accessory battery can be protected from under voltage like the first. I’m going to use 8 gauge wire for that, just because it will keep things balanced with the 8 gauge wire that runs to the front battery from the solar panel.

This way if I have an under voltage circumstance both accessory batteries will be protected and the wire shouldn’t cost more than $10 and a half hour of my time. I know it’s more wire but I think it will be simple enough and a smart move in case something gets left on or I’m parked somewhere in extended period with not a lot of sun.
