Do I need to fuse batteries in parallel?

I have 2two deep cycle batteries in my Airstream, inin the panel there is a fused bus bar ( thatthat appears to be faulty  ) so the solar panels only charge the one battery. Can I just run a heavy gauge wire between the pos postwo positive and beg begtwo negative terminals? Or do I have to put a fuse across them? ... if so do I fuse the pospositive or fuse hethe negative  ? WhatsWhat's the worst that can happen if oI don’t fuse them  ?
