Can we upgrade a lug on our disconnect?

We are working on the crossover from the coach to the house batteries. A long story, but the short of it is, the most convenient way to hook up at one end is the main coach disconnect. The problem is the lug space on it.

My question is, can we put a bigger lug in there, so it will accept one more wire? I am thinking we can, but there is "safety in counsel."

Thanks.

God bless,

 I'm no electrician but I would think a junction block would serve you well. Several wires in, single wire to switch...Cable

That's what I was going to suggest. The work well and are insulated from the body so can be attached to the aluminum panel.

Or, is it possible to use a thinner connector on the end of the cable?

I agree, Cable and Gumpers. Thanks. Looks like that is what we will use.
