Bus depot, stan, vanagain, and many others sell an aux battery relay kit
complete with instructions.

Or break out the wiring diagrams and get a standard 4 prong 30 amp or larger
relay found in many FLAPS auxilliary lighting sections and behind the
counter but most of them wouldn�t know the part number.

The wiring signals you will need are ground and the D+ signal wire.  This is
the wire that goes to the alt light in the dash. (blue, blue black??)  then
10 gauge wire from the battery to the relay and 10 gauge wire from the relay
to the other battery.
