Im not entirely sure i understand the question but here goes:

You need to have two 12v 30A relays fitted:
- One for the split charge on the leisure battery.
- One controlling the 12v feed to the fridge from the battery (whichever battery you choose to wire it to).

The relay for the fridge is there so you have absolutely no chance of running the fridge off the battery when the engine is not running (because your battery wont last long if its not being charged!).

Hope that helps...

The fridge should never be connected to the les battery, the switch feed for the relay comes from the ignition, hence you switch the engine off and off goes the fridge too!
