I would consult with the Unimog people. Some Unimogs are 24 volt systems. No doubt they have encountered this problem with adding radios or other 12 volt loads. CoachGeo could probably point you in the right direction.
My best guess would be that tapping into 12 volts between the batteries for low currrent devices would probably be OK. Using this method for high current devices (lamps, amplifiers, etc) might not be such a good idea.
Wiring batteries in parallel requires an isolating device (like on the Ford diesel pickups). Without isolation, current will flow between the two batteries and they will run each other down quickly.
