Re: Running this by the experts on here

fitted the relay on the weekend, the charging current from the relay goes to the zigg then to the leisure batteries as before but I no longer run the risk of discharging the starter battery.
the other feed from the relay goes to a 12v socket to power my 3 way cool box whilst on the move.
cheers
