Yes, as long as both are in good nick.
If one is dodgy it will drag the other one down.

The 2 leisure batteries can simply be "paralleled up".

And as long as you use some kind of split charge relay to separate the road battery from the 2 leisure batteries during starting and to make sure your road battery is not in the leisure circuit when parked up.
