There are no specific jump start points on the x244 model, which your vehicle will be.
For the positive, you could attach to the nut on M6 terminal clamping bolt at the rear of the battery, or alternatively remove the battery fuseboard cover, and clip onto the then exposed bare metal that the thick starter motor cable connects to. or cable clamping bolt.
For the negative, I suggest an engine lifting lug.
If the vehicle is a MH, then best to disconnect the MH habitation connection before jump starting. This is because the split charge relay could become energised when the engine starts. This would allow excessive currents to flow from a charged habitation battery, possibly cause wiring or other damage. In theory fusing should prevent this, but will it? Damage has been reported on other forums.
For illustration, my Varta H3 starter battery has a CCA rating of 830A. My two habitation batteries, which are not leisure batteries, but of dual pupose design, have CCA ratings of 1000A each. I am thinking of upgrading their individual maxi blade fuses to something with higher rupturing

Thanks for prompt response. I think it's time to invest in a new starter battery. This one has been on since 2004 when I bought the motorhome new.There are no specific jump start points on the x244 model, which your vehicle will be.
