What are doing? 
Do you want us to identify a bundle of wires with no clue what they are or where they came from?
Without a lot more information, no one will be able to help you.

Looking at the photo again, it appears to be a bundle of common or negative wires. I still have no idea what they are.

Hi Jrsl 1982;  A little back ground story would help us. Did you buy this rig looking like that? Or are you changing the floor plan around?
In either event, you may have a steep learning curve if you don't have a lot of electrical experience. The RVIA codes for electrical both 12v and 110vac are pretty strict for a reason. RonB

It's a 12 VDC ground bundle. I remember seeing one of these in my 2003 midbath. It's what happens when instead of using a busbar or a binding post, an RV manufacturer twists all the ground wires together and then dips them into a small solder cup, heating it up until it all melts together. Ugh!

I'd recommend cutting off that ugly blob, terminating each wire with a good quality (e.g., FTZ Crimp 'n' Seal) ring terminal, and putting them on a Blue Sea or equivalent busbar.
