Default Inverter and Dual Battery Setup

I have a Xantrex 1800 inverter and would like to do a dual battery setup and have some few questions.
The inverter need less than 10 ft of wire for installation. From engine to the left back side of the disco compartment is over 13 ft. Is it possible to relocate 2 batteries and leave one battery in the original battery tray?
I would like to leave the original battery as starting battery and the 2 relocated ones are for the inverter, how to do that?
If anyone can point me to the right direction here? Thanks
Gerry

Why do you need 3 batteries, that is major over kill for the most part.
